In the acute care setting, PIM prescribing can be even more problematic due to multiple physicians and specialists who may be prescribing for a single patient as well as difficulty with medication reconciliation at transitions and limitations imposed by hospital formularies. This article highlights critical issues surrounding PIM prescribing in the acute care setting such as risk factors, screening tools, and potential strategies to minimize this significant public health problem.Keywords: inappropriate prescribing, aged, elderly, adverse drug events, adverse drug reactions, Beers’ criteria, screeningRobert L Page IISunny A LinneburLucinda L Bryantet alDove Medical Pressarticleinappropriate prescribingagedelderlyadverse drug eventsadverse drug reactionsBeers CriteriascreeningGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 5, Pp 75-87 (2010)
