Summary

This study tests whether a computer alert that pops up when a doctor prescribes too much digoxin can reduce risky prescribing in hospitalized patients aged 65 and older. Digoxin is a heart medication that can cause serious side effects if the dose is too high. The study will compare how often high doses are prescribed before and after the alert system is turned on.
