1.6 Measure Description
The percentage of patients 65 years of age and older who have evidence of an underlying disease, condition or health concern and who are dispensed an ambulatory prescription for a potentially harmful medication, concurrent with or after the diagnosis. Three rates are reported for this measure:
-Rate 1: The percentage of those with a history of falls that received a potentially harmful medication
-Rate 2: The percentage of those with dementia that received a potentially harmful medication
-Rate 3: The percentage of those with chronic kidney disease that received a potentially harmful medication
A lower rate represents better performance for all rates.
