Several strategies can help mitigate inappropriate prescribing:
1. Education and Training: Continuous education for healthcare providers on the latest guidelines and evidence-based practices. 2. Clinical Decision Support Systems: Implementing computerized systems can assist in making more informed prescribing decisions. 3. Medication Reviews: Regular reviews of patients' medications can help identify and discontinue inappropriate prescriptions. 4. Patient Involvement: Educating patients about their medications can empower them to question and understand their treatments better.
