NCT04340570

Brief Summary

Older Veterans, particularly those with multiple chronic conditions requiring complex medication regimens, are more susceptible to adverse effects of medications. In this study, the investigators will examine the effect of a pharmacist led medication management intervention delivered by home televisit on improving medication use. The investigators anticipate that televisit to home by pharmacist for medication management may enhance use of medications at home by Veterans particularly those with complex medication regimens.
