Short films to discuss polypharmacy? Why not. The entries to the First Short Film Festival about Polypharmacy and Health are here. These are great, instructive, fun, reflective, and artistic. Which one is your favorite? Why? Simplifying treatments, drugectomies, physician-assisted noncompliance, medication therapeutic management – all of these reflect the need to reduce the burden of treatment imposed by complex, often unnecessary, and frequently unsafe medication programs.
Thanks a lot for help to spread the short film festival. Our main goal at polimedicado.com is to share knowledge and create collaborative networks.
I am curious as to your opinion regarding a pharmacist-physician collaborative effort regarding polypharmacy. The pharmacy is a link between one or multiple physicians and the patient and, through collaborative effort the patient can be alerted to duplicate therapy or unnecessary therapies.
