This pilot project aims to reduce the prescribing of high-risk medications, such as antipsychotics and benzodiazepines, to hospitalized older adults. To accomplish this, this project consists of two phases. The purpose is to determine whether a novel simulation-based training program reduces prescribing of suboptimal medications for older adults. A 2-arm pilot randomized controlled trial will be conducted to test a simulation-based, principle-driven intervention targeting high-risk prescribing practices versus control.
