“…Further studies are needed to substantiate deprescribing and its true effect on patient adherence and better health outcomes at this time. 10 Reducing polypharmacy can lead to cost savings. Based on the results of this 3-month study, we expect that VASNHS would save more than $84,000 by reducing polypharmacy among its patients.…”

The number of patients who take 5 or more medications-polypharmacy-is increasing. Patients with polypharmacy are at risk for adverse drug events, drugdrug interactions, geriatric-related syndromes, falls, and hospitalizations.Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed to assess the impact of the VIONE deprescribing tool on polypharmacy and cost avoidance when used by primary care physicians and pharmacists in patient aligned care team primary care clinics at Veteran Affairs Southern Nevada Healthcare System in North Las Vegas. The efficacy of the tool was determined by calculating the total amount of medications deprescribed as well as the estimated annualized costs avoided for the health care system. Results: In a 3-month period, 1060 medications were deprescribed. The total estimated cost avoidance for the facility was $84,030.46. Conclusion:The VIONE tool may be useful in improving patient safety through deprescribing and discontinuing potentially inappropriate medications. Use of this deprescribing tool also may reduce the cost of care associated with overprescribing.
