Study Summary

This trial will study whether a quality improvement intervention using an EHR CDS tool can reduce the number of pill days per patient prescribed for older adults with ADRD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults with Alzheimer's or dementia at UCLA Health who have a primary care physician there. It includes doctors who've prescribed antipsychotics like Quetiapine or Risperidone recently. People with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Parkinson's disease, or recent antipsychotic prescriptions are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a new tool in electronic health records (EHR) to help doctors make better decisions about prescribing antipsychotics for dementia patients. The goal is to see if this tool can reduce unnecessary medication days per patient compared to usual care without the tool.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves using an EHR decision support tool rather than a medical treatment, it does not directly cause side effects. However, reducing low-value prescriptions may decrease potential medication-related side effects like drowsiness or confusion.
