TL;DR: Feedback about a patient's overdose may instill safe opioid prescribing habits in physicians and lead to reductions in high-intensity prescribing, reductions in the likelihood that an opioid-naïve patient received a prescription, and a reduction in overall cumulative opioid intake.

TL;DR: Adherence to alpha-blockers was less than adherence to finasteride or multiple medications and nonadherence was significantly associated with a procedure.

TL;DR: Results from this observational study reinforce the positive impact that anticoagulation services have on antICOagulation therapy outcomes, emphasizing the importance of providing such services for patients undergoing treatment with warfarin.
