Computer Tools and Inappropriate Prescribing for the Elderly

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

This paper is a meta-analysis that focuses on studies that evaluate the effectiveness of computer tools in helping to reduce the incidence of prescriptions written for potentially inappropriate medications that are dispensed to patients over age 65. The number of studies included in the meta-analysis is limited due to the fact that there has been little research focused on this topic. Twelve pages in length, three sources are cited.
