Reducing proton pump inhibitors overuse with an advisory, risk-based, context-aware electronic alert system: A controlled interrupted time series analysis
The advisory, risk-based, context-aware electronic alert system effectively reduced PPI overuse and improved prescribing quality in a surgical department. The differential impact post-intervention, with more durable effects on consumption metrics than on prescribing quality, suggests a certain degree of sustainability in prescribing behaviors. Implementing advisory, context- aware electronic alerts may offer a scalable solution for optimizing medication use in healthcare settings.
