Exploring Goal‐Concordant Medication Use Among <scp>VA</scp> Community Living Center Residents With Dementia
Goals elicited via an open-ended question provided only indirect information relevant to medication use, but in many cases could be used to refine judgments of appropriateness. Integration of patient goals into formal criteria evaluating medication appropriateness is a logical next step for medication optimization research. Future research should explore the utility of questions specific to medications in GoC conversations for individuals with dementia.
