First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tested a computer system that alerts doctors and pharmacists when older hospital patients are at risk for acute kidney failure or dangerously high potassium levels. The goal was to reduce these serious side effects by making alerts more specific and having a pharmacist review them before contacting the doctor. About 783 older adults in the hospital took part, and the study looked at whether this approach lowered the number of kidney and potassium problems.
