Background: Studies of potential medication problems among older adults have focused on English-speaking

populations in a single health care setting or a single potential medication problem. No previous studies investigated

potential inappropriate medications (PIMs) and medication discrepancies (MDs) among older Chinese Americans

during care transitions from hospital discharge to home care.

Objective: The aims of this study were to examine, in older Chinese Americans, the prevalence of both PIMs and

MDs; the relationship between PIMs and MDs; and the patient and hospitalization characteristics associated with them

during care transitions from hospital discharge to home care.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of older Chinese Americans from a large certified

nonprofit home-care agency in New York City from June 2010 to July 2011. PIMs were identified by using 2002

diagnosis-independent Beers criteria. MDs were identified by comparing the differences between hospital discharge

medication order and home-care admission medication order. Prevalence of PIMs and MDs and their relationship was

determined. Logistic regression examined the relationship between hospitalization and patient characteristics with

PIMs and MDs.
