Team Alice: Helping Health Care Professionals to Avoid Errors

Team Alice is a research and advocacy initiative based in the UB Center for Successful Aging that is focused on reducing the prescription of unnecessary and sometimes harmful medications to the elderly. The program is inspired by the story of Mary Brennan-Taylor, whose mother, Alice, was the victim of medical errors. Among the faculty members on Team Alice is Ranjit Singh, MB, Bchir, associate professor of family medicine and director of the department’s Primary Care Research Institute.
