Experimental: Electronic Deprescribing tool
GPs of enrolled patients with access to the electronic Deprescribing tool
|
Each GP of the intervention group will have exclusive access to an electronic tool that will guide them on deprescribing. The innovative electronic tool created by the researchers provide the rationale on indications for prescribing or deprescribing Benzodiazepines or/and Non-benzodiazepine hypnotics and also provides an interactive tapering suggestion integrated on a calendar. The tool emphasizes that any decision to continue or discontinue a drug remains a shared decision between GP and the patient. The electronic Deprescribing tool is designed to support clinical decisions |
