Doctors get overdose alerts to curb opioid crisis
NCT ID NCT04758637
Summary
This study tested whether notifying doctors when their patients had an opioid overdose would make them prescribe fewer opioids. Researchers worked with 61 doctors across three US healthcare systems. Some doctors received letters about their patients' overdoses, while others continued their normal practice, to see if the notification changed prescribing habits.
