First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving doctors feedback about their prescribing habits can reduce the number of potentially harmful medications given to older adults (65+) when they leave the emergency department. About 200 doctors from Yale New Haven Health System are taking part. Some receive feedback from a peer doctor, some from an anonymous system, and some get no feedback at all. The goal is to see which approach works best to encourage safer prescribing.
