The AGS Beers Criteria® app is a mobile tool designed for clinicians to implement prescribing recommendations for older adults. It is based on the 2023 updated criteria for potentially inappropriate medication use in this population, aiming to improve patient safety by highlighting medications that should be avoided or used with caution.
Key features include access to the 2023 AGS Beers Criteria®, a new section on alternative treatments (pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic), quick search functionality by drug name, organ system, or disease, and the ability to browse medications by various categories such as potentially inappropriate medications, drugs to use with caution, and drug-drug interactions. Users can also bookmark content and take notes.
The app is free to download and provides access to the core information based on the AGS Beers Criteria®. However, it does offer in-app purchases, suggesting that some advanced features or content may require a purchase.
The primary target audience includes clinicians such as physicians, pharmacists, and nurses who prescribe medications for older adults. It is also a valuable resource for older adults themselves and their caregivers who want to understand potential medication risks and safer alternatives.
This app assists in medication management by providing evidence-based guidance on medications that may pose risks to older adults. It helps clinicians identify medications to avoid, use with caution, or consider alternatives for, thereby promoting safer prescribing practices and improving the quality of care for elderly patients.
