TaperMD provides leading-edge software solutions for reducing medication burden in older adults to improve patient quality of life, reduce physician workload, and reduce the number of issues that can lead to increased health system costs. Developed by leaders in the area of medication management, with TaperMD’s tools patients and their providers can, through shared decision making, identify opportunities to optimize patient medications. It starts with understanding a patient's care goals, and facilitating effective collaboration between the patient, pharmacist, and doctor. TaperMD uses a Pause and Monitor™ approach for safe medication reduction and monitoring. Automated screens visually flag medication optimization opportunities, and allow a user to drill down and see underlying evidence. From there, the patient and their medical team can build a plan of how to pause some of their medications, then monitor and track the progress of the change and any need to restart the medication. In use in multiple healthcare settings and clinical trials around the world, TaperMD’s products accommodate effective medication reviews in both community settings and in long term care.
