Early prescribing outcomes after exporting the EQUIPPED medication safety improvement programme.
Enhancing quality of prescribing practices for older adults discharged from the Emergency Department (EQUIPPED) aims to reduce the monthly proportion of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) prescribed to older adults discharged from the ED to 5% or less. In this paper, the investigator described prescribing outcomes at three academic health systems adapting and sequentially implementing the EQUIPPED medication safety programme.

Automated screening of emergency department notes for drug-associated bleeding adverse events occurring in older adults.
The purpose of this study was to conduct research to show the value of text mining for automatically identifying suspected bleeding adverse drug events (ADEs) in the emergency department (ED). The investigators found that both models they examined, accurately identify bleeding ADEs using the presence or absence of certain clinical concepts in ED admission notes for older adult patients.
