- The INSPIRE ICOPE-CARE programme focuses on improving integrated care for older adults by implementing the ICOPE health-care guidelines in real clinical settings.
- A large-scale study was conducted in France, where over 10,000 participants aged 60 and above were screened for intrinsic capacity abnormalities using several digital tools and received training under the WHO ICOPE framework.
- Results showed that 94.3% of participants had positive findings related to their intrinsic health, with a significant follow-up rate of 70.4% after six months, indicating the programme's feasibility and effectiveness in identifying health issues in older adults.
Despite several guidelines for preventing potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use in older, their prescription rates remain high (25%). The aim of this study was to determine the impact of medication reviews (MRs) on the drug-related problems (DRPs) in older patients in Elderly Residential Care Homes (nursing homes [NHs]). DRP was defined as an event or circumstance involving drug therapy that actually or potentially interferes with desired health outcomes.
