Summary
This study aimed to see if simple electronic reminders could help doctors reduce risky medication combinations in older patients. It planned to enroll primary care clinicians and use behavioral nudges in the electronic health record. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data or conclusions are available.
