The author explains why the elderly are particularly at risk for problems of noncompliance with prescribed drug regimens and describes some innovative strategies that can be used to prevent or reduce both inappropriate prescribing by physicians and noncompliance among the elderly. These strategies can be applied by health professionals providing or monitoring drug therapy for the elderly (primarily physicians and pharmacists) and some can also be undertaken by the elderly working in close collaboration with clinical pharmacists. The paper concludes with an examination of the potential role of continuing education in ameliorating some of the problems discussed here.
作者解释了为何老年人在不遵守处方药治疗方案方面面临特别高的风险，并描述了一些创新策略，这些策略可用于预防或减少医生的不适当开药以及老年人中的不遵医嘱情况。这些策略可供为老年人提供或监测药物治疗的卫生专业人员（主要是医生和药剂师）应用，有些策略也可由与临床药剂师密切合作的老年人来实施。本文最后探讨了继续教育在改善此处所讨论的一些问题方面的潜在作用。
