Understanding ethical aspects of physician decision-making can inform clinician education about medication management and deprescribing decisions for older adults with moderate dementia. This research highlights that clinician education on deprescribing should include shared decision-making to prioritize goals of care and patient symptom management and that clinician-to-clinician communication is essential. Further research on the most effective tools and strategies is needed. Addressing these barriers through deprescribing strategies and educational initiatives will be important to reduce medication-related harm in older adults living with dementia.
