Summary
This study tested a computer tool that reminds doctors to check Colorado's prescription drug database before prescribing opioids (painkillers) or benzodiazepines (sedatives). The goal was to see if the tool helps doctors follow state law and reduce risky prescribing. Nearly 90,000 patient visits were tracked to measure how often the database was checked and how many prescriptions were written.
