Aligning Medications With What Matters Most

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1. 1Since this trial has already been completed, has the data been published yet, and could you help me understand what the results showed about whether this type of pharmacist-led medication review was practical and well-received by patients and caregivers dealing with dementia?
2. 2My loved one with dementia is already taking many medications — based on what you know about this trial's approach of aligning medications with personal values and priorities, is there a similar pharmacist-consultation process available to us right now through our regular care team?
3. 3This study focused on whether it was even feasible to run this kind of pharmacist-and-primary-care-provider coordination — does that mean we still don't have strong evidence that it actually reduces harm from too many medications, and if so, what evidence-based alternatives exist for managing polypharmacy in someone with Alzheimer's?
4. 4The trial involved pharmacists reaching out to both the primary care provider and the patient-caregiver pair by phone — given my loved one's current condition and our schedule, would that kind of ongoing pharmacist contact realistically be manageable for us if a similar program were offered?
5. 5Could you review my loved one's current medication list with us using the same kind of 'what matters most' framework this trial was studying, even outside of a formal research setting?
