Brief Summary: This study will evaluate the effects of a pharmacist-led, deprescribing-focused medication review on the use of inappropriate medications by nursing home residents
Detailed Description: Nursing home residents are often prescribed inappropriate medication, drugs whose negative effects outweigh potential benefits or which are not useful anymore. Inappropriate medication have been linked with worse health outcomes, hospitalisations and death. Deprescribing, the structured process of withdrawing or tapering inappropriate medications, has been studied as a potential solution to this problem.

In this study, nursing home residents living in institution which are already engaged in a deprescribing process will be randomly allocated to receive a medication review or usual care. The medication review will be performed by the nursing home pharmacist an its results will be discussed with the responsible physicians and nurses to create a deprescribing plan specifically tailored to the needs of the resident.
