Krista Harrison Co-Authorized Study Published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management

Dr. Krista Harrison co-authored a study with former hospice colleagues published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management entitled "Use of auditing and feedback in an outpatient hospice setting: Quality and pharmacoeconomic oversight". This study reports that showing hospice clinicians their prescribing patterns for opioids, antipsychotics, and antidepressants (e.g. thequality improvement method of audit and feedback) resulted in unchanged or improved measures of pain management and simultaneous reduction in per-patient medication costs at one community-based hospice organization.
