Summary

This study looked at how to best help emergency room doctors avoid prescribing potentially harmful medications to older veterans. Researchers compared two methods: giving doctors regular reports on their prescribing habits (passive feedback) versus having them actively discuss and review their choices (active feedback). The goal was to find which approach works better to keep older patients safer.
