NHPCO Releases Deprescribing Toolkit
for Hospice Providers
The myNHPCO Pharmacist
Community, in collaboration with
the myNHPCO Physician/Advanced
Practice Provider Community and
numerous hospice professionals, is
proud to announce the release of
the NHPCO Hospice Medication
Deprescribing Toolkit for members
(log-in to access the Regulatory >
Drugs & Medications page and
download the toolkit).
" The deprescribing toolkit is a great
companion and was the logical next
iteration to the medication
relatedness algorithm released
previously. The release of this toolkit comes at a time where the topic of
deprescribing is at the center of many patient and family conversations, as
well as, hospice agencies focusing on high quality care, " said Jason
Kimbrel, PharmD, BCPS, MyNHPCO Pharmacy Community Leader and
Vice President of Optum Hospice Services. " I'm proud of the collaboration
from across many facets of the hospice community that came together to
produce such a high-quality resource. "

The toolkit
represents
hundreds of hours
of thoughtful and
detailed work to
support patient
care...

The toolkit represents hundreds of hours of thoughtful and detailed work
to support patient care by providing hospice organizations with the best
and most up-to-date guidance possible. This collection of independent
deprescribing guidance documents specific to particular classes of
medications can assist hospice agencies when evaluating if medications
could be continued or deprescribed.
" The collaborative development of the deprescribing toolkit gives us a
valuable tool in the important work of assessing and managing
medications for our patients. In addressing the issues of ongoing clinical
appropriateness, pill burden, and polypharmacy, it allows the hospice
clinician, in utilizing a shared decision-making process, to optimize patient
comfort while maintaining high quality care, " said Bernice Burkarth,
FAAHPM, HMDC, MD, MyNHPCO Physician/Advanced Practice Provider
Community Leader and Chief Medical Officer at Merrimack Valley Hospice.
Thank you to the many contributors to this valuable resource for members.

Deprescribing Toolkit.
