Honja presents Less is More at the Austrian Patient Advisory Board

On November 28, 2024, our Honja had the opportunity to present at the Austrian Patient Advisory Board (Österreichischer Patient:innenbeirat). The talk, titled Verschreibungspraktiken in Wien: Erste Erkenntnisse zu „Deprescribing“, focused on findings from our “Less is More?“-project. The session delved into the concept of deprescribing drawing on preliminary data from Vienna. The presentation highlighted the challenges and opportunities of integrating deprescribing practices into healthcare. Participants engaged actively, sharing their personal experiences and concerns about prescription practices, particularly discussing the balance between medical necessity and over-medication, as well as the importance of patient involvement in decisions about their care.
