Abstract in brief

  • The article discusses how polypharmacy, especially among older adults, poses health risks due to drug interactions, side effects, and the challenges of managing multiple medications, highlighting the need for more effective interventions.
  • It introduces the TAPER (Team Approach to Polypharmacy Evaluation and Reduction) model, which is designed to overcome barriers at patient, provider, and system levels by using the chronic care model framework to guide behavioral change and improve medication management.
  • The development of TAPER maps onto established healthcare models like the chronic care model, minimally disruptive medicine, and the cumulative complexity model, aligning with primary care principles to create a comprehensive approach to reducing unnecessary polypharmacy and its negative effects.
