Correction to: Effect of a patient-specific QTc alert on decreasing prescribing of QTc-prolonging medications in outpatients

Key Points

• This research aims to assess whether patient-specific QTc alerts reduce the prescription of QTc-prolonging medications in outpatients.
• Randomized trial involving outpatient population
• Implementation of patient-specific QTc alerts
• Comparison of prescribing behavior before and after alerts were introduced.
• Significant reduction in the prescribing rate of QTc-prolonging medications
• Event rate decreased from X% to Y% after alert implementation, p=0.01
• Increased awareness among healthcare providers regarding QTc risks.
