DR. DELON CANTERBURY, Geriatric Pharmacist: DEPRESCRIBING - Saves Lives and Money
Description
Don and I had the pleasure of speaking with DR. DELON CANTERBURY, Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist and Founder of GeriatRX, a Deprescribing Accelerator Program based on the premise that the majority of patients taking 15-18 medications annually are aged over 65, preventable medication errors cost nearly $21 billion dollars annually, and the ongoing inappropriate , HARMFUL, use of medications in the senior population.
Too many Americans are dying from harmful medications and wasting thousands of their hard earned dollars on unnecessary prescriptions. Over 275,000 people die each year due to medication mismanagement. While other American's are wasting over $6,000 per year on unnecessary medications.
GeriatRX is a pharmacist-lead consulting service that identifies that there is a lack of support for caregivers advocating for the elderly who need help in maneuvering a very difficult health care landscape by providing high quality evidence-based medication management for our most vulnerable patients, the elderly.
