VA study tests new methods to improve care for sleep, blood thinners, and risky medications
NCT ID NCT05065502
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how to help busy doctors at VA clinics adopt better treatments for three common issues: reducing risky medications in older adults, using blood thinners more safely, and offering talk therapy for insomnia instead of sleep pills. Researchers compared two different support strategies across 24 clinics to see which worked better. The goal was to find practical ways to improve care without adding extra burden on providers.
