The goal of the Prescribing Wisely Lab is to improve our understanding of prescribing decisions and help patients and clinicians make decisions that maximize patient well-being.

Our lab employs a wide variety of research methods including large database studies, qualitative interviews, prospective cohort studies, and interventions.

The Prescribing Wisely Lab is a collaboration of researchers in the Division of General Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and the Division of General Internal Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. The lab works closely with the BIDMC Center for Healthcare Delivery Science and the University of Pittsburgh Center for Pharmaceutical Policy and Prescribing.

The lab is supported by research grants from

• National Institute on Aging

• Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality

• American Heart Association

• US Deprescribing Research Network
