Watterson TL, Stone JA, Gilson A, et al. Impact of CancelRx on discontinuation of controlled substance prescriptions: an interrupted time series analysis. BMC Med Inform Decis Mak. 2022;22(1):50. doi:10.1186/s12911-022-01779-9.
The CancelRx system is a health information technology-based intervention intended to mitigate the challenges of communicating medication discontinuation.
