The D-PRESCRIBE study provides compelling evidence that a focused, systematic medication review conducted by community-based pharmacists coupled with patient education and written recommendations to prescribers results in a significant reduction in the use of potentially inappropriate medications.  In this vidcast, we review the methods and results of the D-PRESCRIBE study and our expert panelists discuss its implications and implementation.
