Summary: <br>
This review assesses the effectiveness and sustainability of hospital-initiated deprescribing strategies in older people near the end of life. Limited evidence suggests short-term reductions in inappropriate prescribing among older terminal patients, but evidence beyond 3 months is lacking for significant prevention of adverse events or health service utilization. Heterogeneity and short follow-up periods hindered meta-analysis and quantitative assessment of sustainability.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of implementing a structured journal club format (TREAT) on allied health professionals (AHPs) in a public health service. The results showed that a 16-month TREAT journal club can improve EBP skills and confidence, and bring about changes in clinical practice. Personalized implementation strategies are important in addressing local enablers and barriers.

Summary: This study investigated the knowledge, use, and documentation of clinical decision aids (CDAs) among healthcare professionals in a large Australian emergency department (ED). The results showed that healthcare professionals had low knowledge and self-reported use of CDAs, but the usage varied across different CDAs. Most respondents expressed a desire to increase their use of valid CDAs and supported the integration of CDAs into the electronic medical record (EMR) system. Potential barriers to CDA use included knowledge, social/professional role and identity, and social influences.
