A year ago we did our first “Deprescribing Super Special”. Next up, we chat with Liz Bayliss about her JAMA IM article that studied whether increasing awareness about deprescribing prior to primary care visits can reduce the use of potentially inappropriate long-term medications for individuals with cognitive impairment.
