Abstract
This year, the oldest baby boomers turned 65 years of age. Baby boomers, which include individuals born between 1946 and 1964, represent 25% of the US population.1 In addition, given their life experiences, this group of individuals is likely to have higher expectations for the quality of health care services, including medication safety. Thus, it is timely to discuss what new knowledge on often preventable medication-related problems (i.e., medication errors and medication adverse events) in older adults was published in 2011. Hopefully, by doing so we can begin to develop approaches to reduce medication-related problems and meet this cohort’s expectations.
