Reinhard Alzner

Reinhard Alzner is a Researcher in the Department of Geriatric Medicine at the Medical University of Salzburg. His work focuses on medication management, geriatric patient care, and fall prevention in elderly populations. Central to his research is the EMMA study, a mixed-methods initiative exploring patient perspectives and outcomes of medication reviews in fall-prone geriatric patients.

Key research interests include optimizing pharmacotherapy practices, reducing polypharmacy risks, and improving clinical guidelines for conditions like sarcopenia. His recent studies emphasize patient-centered approaches and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Alzner has contributed to over eight peer-reviewed publications since 2007, with recent emphasis on geriatric fall prevention and guideline adherence. He has collaborated widely, including with institutions like Salzburg Regional Hospital (SALK), and co-authored studies on sarcopenia diagnosis and medication safety in older adults.
