For many Veterans, taking a variety of medications is a necessity. But the simultaneous use of multiple medications can lead to dangerous drug interactions, adverse outcomes, and challenges with a patient’s ability to adhere to the proper schedule and dosage.
This ranks among the top 10 common causes of death in the U.S.
VIONE, a medication optimization method, works to address this critical issue in Veterans. VIONE was developed by Dr. Battar, associate chief of staff for Geriatrics and Extended Care Services at Central Arkansas VA.
