The authors searched for studies conducted in the United States that described determinants of Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) use in adults >/=60 years of age in a nursing home or residential care facility, in the emergency department (ED), or in the hospital. They concluded that among older adults, those who are on many medications are at increased risk for PIM use across multiple settings.

They found that payment reforms reducing average and marginal payments reduced entries and increased exits from the market, with entries more likely to be affected.
