Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Credible Peer Messenger
Providers receive automated prescribing feedback messages from a credible peer messenger, including aspirational norms and benchmark comparisons based on Geriatric Emergency Medication Safety Recommendations (GEMS-Rx) recommendations, to promote safer prescribing practices.
Prescribing Feedback
Automated prescribing feedback messages are delivered to clinician prescribers in participating emergency departments. Messages are based on Geriatric Emergency Medication Safety Recommendations (GEMS-Rx) recommendations and include aspirational norms and benchmark comparisons. Depending on study arm, feedback is sent either from a credible peer messenger or through an anonymous messenger system.
Anonymous Messenger
Providers receive automated prescribing feedback messages from an anonymous messenger system, including aspirational norms and benchmark comparisons based on Geriatric Emergency Medication Safety Recommendations (GEMS-Rx) recommendations, to promote safer prescribing practices.
Prescribing Feedback
Automated prescribing feedback messages are delivered to clinician prescribers in participating emergency departments. Messages are based on Geriatric Emergency Medication Safety Recommendations (GEMS-Rx) recommendations and include aspirational norms and benchmark comparisons. Depending on study arm, feedback is sent either from a credible peer messenger or through an anonymous messenger system.
Control group
Providers continue with standard of care. No feedback messages are sent.
