Results or Clinical Course: Analysis of 22 patients was conducted and compared to data collected pre-and post-intervention.Total number of medications decreased from 13.08 to 11.75 (10.18%), the number of PIM's decreased from 3.77 to 2.80 (25.73%), and the ABS score decreased from 1.84 to 1.65 (10.22%). Conclusions: The use of the MAT in combination with polypharmacy rounds, appears to be an effective means to encourage appropriate prescribing practices for reducing the total number of medications, PIMs, and the ABS score at discharge in patients over the age of 65.
