Potentially inappropriate prescribing in long-term care facilities increases the risk of adverse drug events and other adverse outcomes, including increased healthcare costs. Based on a secondary data analysis from the Systematic Dementia Screening by Multidisciplinary Team Meetings in Nursing Homes for Reducing Emergency Department Transfers (IDEM) randomized trial, this study found that increases in potentially inappropriate prescribing increased residents’ risk of going to the emergency room and increased total medication spending.
