The percentage of adults 66 years of age and older who had both of the following during the measurement year:
- Medication Review.
- Functional Status Assessment.
Why It Matters
According to U.S. Census statistics, there are an estimated 54 million adults over the age of 65 in the United States, and it is estimated that by 2050 this number will increase to 85.7 million.1 As the population ages, physical function decreases and cognitive ability can decrease. Older adults can become depressed or have medication regimens of increased complexity. Assessing functional status and medication review can ensure that older adults receive comprehensive care that prevents further health status decline and considers their wishes.
