Abstract in brief

  • The study examined whether an electronic health records (EHR)-based tool called the Geriatric Prescribing Context (GPC) could reduce the prescription of potentially inappropriate medication doses for hospitalized adults aged 75 and older.
  • The implementation of the GPC improved adherence to geriatric-specific dose recommendations across common medications, resulting in decreased average doses and total daily doses, thus enhancing patient safety.
  • The GPC is a simple, effective, and resource-efficient tool that integrates seamlessly into current prescribing workflows without causing alert fatigue, making it a practical solution for improving medication safety in older adults.]
