Awareness and use of the sickle cell disease toolbox by primary care providers in North Carolina.
The authors developed a decision support tool for sickle cell disease (SCD) for SCD management (SCD Toolbox) based on the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's SCD guidelines. Using data from primary care providers (PCPs) in North Carolina, they found that PCPs rarely co-managed with a specialist, had low awareness and use of the SCD Toolbox, and requested multiple formats for the toolbox.

Multicomponent behavioral intervention to reduce exposure to anticholinergics in primary care older adults.
This study tested the effectiveness of a multicomponent behavioral intervention to reduce the use of high-risk anticholinergic medications in primary care older adults. Ten primary care clinics within Eskenazi Health in Indianapolis were selected to test the intervention. The intervention included provider- and patient-focused components. The provider-focused component was a computerized decision support system alerting the presence of a high-risk anticholinergic and offering dose- and indication-specific alternatives; while the patient-focused component was a story-based video providing education and modeling an interaction with a healthcare provider. The intervention occurred from April 2019 through March 2020. A total of 552 older adults had primary care visits during the study period. Only 3 out of 259 provider-focused alerts led to a medication change. Of the 276 staff alerts, 4.7% were confirmed to activate the patient-focused intervention.
