A new case study from IHI and The Commonwealth Fund describes the work of a multidisciplinary team of clinical experts in Ottawa, Canada, to implement evidence-based deprescribing guidelines and tools to assess, taper, and stop medications that may cause harm or no longer benefit patients. Deprescribing is one of four selected innovations from abroad that US health systems are testing as part of the Innovators Network established by The Commonwealth Fund and IHI.
