Amy M LinskyMark MeterkoKelly StolzmannSteven R SimonPublished in: BMC health services research (2017)
Continued efforts to improve clinicians' ability to make prescribing decisions, especially around deprescribing, have many potential benefits, including decreased pharmaceutical and health care costs, fewer adverse drug events and complications, and improved patient involvement and satisfaction with their care. Future work, whether as research or quality improvement, should incorporate clinicians' preferences for interventions, as greater buy-in from front-line staff leads to better adoption of changes.
