Falls in older adults represents a growing public health challenge. The use of certain medication is recognized as an important modifiable risk factor for falls. Research indicates fall-risk increasing drug (FRID) deprescribing is effective in reducing falls but difficult to initiate and to sustain over longer periods of follow-up. A clinical decision support system (CDSS) and patient portal for communicating medication-related fall risk to fall clinic patients may improve joint medication management between patients and physicians and consequently reduce the incidence of injurious falls.
