Introducing Electronic Alerts to Reduce Inappropriate Digoxin Prescribing in Older Adults
The intervention consists of introducing computerized alerts into the electronic medical record of the CSAPG (MIRA software), which are triggered when a physician prescribes digoxin at a dose higher than the recommended amount (more than 0.125 mg/day). The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a visible computerized alert aimed at physicians responsible for hospitalized elderly patients who have been prescribed digoxin at a dose higher than 0.125 mg/day (the recommended dose), in reducing the number of patients receiving inappropriate digoxin doses.
