Educational intervention

We developed a set of explicit criteria for pharmacological inappropriateness for Norwegian GPs' prescribing to elderly patients. The main purpose of the criteria was to serve as quality indicators during an educational intervention: the Prescription Peer Academic Detailing (Rx-PAD) Study, aimed at improving GPs' prescribing for elderly patients.
