First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a clinical decision framework helps hospital doctors feel more confident when prescribing medications for older adults (65+) with chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. About 150 doctors will attend an educational session and complete surveys before and after. Researchers will also call some patients to see if they understand any medication changes made during their hospital stay.
