This study is looking at a new way to help doctors make better decisions about medications for older adults (65 and older) who are in the hospital with long-term health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension). The study will provide doctors with a special guide called a "Clinical Decision Framework" to help them decide which medications to prescribe. Researchers want to see if this framework helps doctors feel more confident in their prescribing choices and if it leads to fewer changes in patients' home medications for diabetes and high blood pressure when they leave the hospital. This study is currently enrolling doctors who work in general medicine or hospital medicine at specific UPMC hospitals.

Study design

This interventional study plans to involve 150 clinicians. It is designed to see if providing a clinical decision framework changes how doctors prescribe medications.

What's involved

Clinician participants will attend an educational session where they receive the clinical decision framework. Their prescribing confidence will be measured at the start and three months after this session.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Clinician participants will be followed for three months after receiving the intervention.
