No impact of a prescription booklet on medication consumption in nursing home residents from 2011 to 2014: a controlled before-after study.

CONCLUSION: We observed an overall decrease in medication consumption in both the control and intervention groups. Our analysis did not provide any evidence that this reduction was related to the use of the booklet. Other factors, such as national policy or increased physician awareness, may have contributed to our findings. PMID: 32748114 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
