A recent study found that physicians reduce prescriptions of opioids and benzodiazepines when notified of a patient’s overdose death, particularly if the notification includes actionable guidance. This approach leads to safer prescribing practices and could help reduce drug overdose fatalities. Letters notifying physicians of patient overdose deaths and providing a plan for the future is an effective intervention, according to a new study.Physicians who are notified that a patient has died of a drug overdose are more…
