Summary

This study tested whether a team-based plan to reduce certain medications (anticholinergics) is practical and acceptable for older hospital patients. 21 people aged 65+ with high anticholinergic burden took part. Researchers measured medication changes, daily function, and safety to see if the approach could be used more widely.
