Polypharmacy and prescribing potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) are common among older persons. Appropriate prescribing requires robust communication and shared decision making about medications. This study examines the effect of TRIM (Tool to Reduce Inappropriate Medications), a web tool linking the electronic health record (EHR) to a clinical decision support system, on medication communication and prescribing. Randomized clinical trial Primary care clinics at a VA Medical Center 128 Veterans age 65 years and older prescribed ≥ 7 medications, randomized to receipt of TRIM or usual care. TRIM extracts medications and chronic conditions from the EHR and contains data entry screens for information obtained from brief chart review and telephonic patient assessment. These data serve as input for automated algorithms identifying medication reconciliation discrepancies, PIMs, and potentially inappropriate regimens. Clinician feedback reports summarize discrepancies and provide recommendations for deprescribing. Patient feedback reports summarize discrepancies and self-reported medication problems. Primary: subscales of the Patient Assessment of Care for Chronic Conditions (PACIC) related to shared decision making, clinician and patient communication; secondary: changes in medications. While 29.7% of TRIM participants versus 15.6% of control participants provided the highest PACIC ratings, the difference was nonsignificant. Adjusting for covariates and clustering of patients within clinicians, TRIM was associated with significantly more active patient communication and facilitative clinician communication, and with more medication-related communication among both. TRIM was significantly associated with correction of medication discrepancies, but had no effect on number of medications or reduction in PIMs. TRIM improved communication around medications and accuracy of documentation. While there was no association with prescribing, the small sample size provided limited power to examine medication-related outcomes.
