Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This research is being conducted to learn which implementation strategy of EQUIPPED is most effective to improve prescribing practices of ED providers toward older Veterans and determine the factors influencing implementation of this program to reduce the prescribing of PIMs to older adults upon discharge from the ED. The study has three research aims. The procedures for these research aims are described below: * Aim 1 - Examining the Impact of Passive Provider Feedback vs. Active Provider Feedback Through a Randomized Trial * Aim 2 - Determination of Factors Affecting Organizational Adoption of EQUIPPED * Aim 3 - Micro-Costing the Active and Passive Feedback Versions of the EQUIPPED Intervention
