ReviewUse of computer decision support interventions to improve medication prescribing in older adults: a systematic review.
Older adults take multiple medications and are at high risk for adverse drug effects. ⋯ Various types of CDS interventions may be effective in improving medication prescribing in older adults, but few studies reported clinical outcomes related to changes in medication prescribing. Data from this study should help to guide refinement and testing of future CDS interventions that specifically target older adult populations that are taking multiple medications.
