Here is a brief, factual summary of the medical article in Slovak: The NUDGE-EHR study examined the impact of alerts in electronic health records (EHR) on medication deprescription in older adults. This was a randomized clinical trial that showed that alerts in the EHR increased the deprescription of potentially inappropriate medications in elderly patients. The results suggest that the use of EHRs to support deprescribing may be an effective strategy to improve pharmacotherapy in older adults. The study provides evidence for the potential of digital tools to improve clinical practice and pharmacological management in this vulnerable population.
