Abstract in brief

The study examined how the implementation of Geriatric Prescribing Context (GPC), which provides age-specific medication dose and frequency defaults for patients 75 and older, affected prescribing practices over 42 months at OHSU Hospital.
Results showed that after initial improvements, most medications continued to be prescribed at more age-appropriate doses and frequencies, with eight out of ten medications maintaining these long-term benefits, though some variability was observed.
Overall, the GPC proved to be an effective strategy for promoting safer medication prescribing in older hospitalized patients, but ongoing monitoring is necessary to sustain long-term improvements.]
