NCT ID NCT07146763
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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 when they leave the emergency department. About 200 clinicians from Yale New Haven Health System are taking part. The goal is to see if feedback from a peer doctor or an anonymous system works better than usual care in promoting safer prescribing.
