Doctors get computer nudges to stop dangerous drug cocktails for seniors

NCT ID NCT03791580

Summary

This pilot study aimed to test simple computer alerts in doctors' electronic health records. The goal was to help primary care doctors spot and reduce risky combinations of medications in patients aged 65 and older. The study planned to test two types of alerts at a few clinics to see if they were useful before a larger trial. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
