Summary
This study tested a digital tool that helps hospital staff identify older patients taking too many medications with anticholinergic side effects, which can cause falls, confusion, and memory issues. Pharmacists used the tool to flag high-risk patients, prompting doctors to reduce or switch those drugs. The goal was to see if this approach is practical and acceptable for routine hospital care.
