Future deprescribing frameworks should explicitly integrate communication strategies and include nurses in their development. Building on these findings, our next step is to engage nurses to identify the most important communication characteristics for effective deprescribing conversations. These insights can guide the development of future frameworks, guidelines, and tools to support structured, patient-centered communication and improve deprescribing outcomes. This has important implications for clinical practice, education, and policy aimed at optimizing care for older adults.
