VIONE: An Innovative Electronic Health Record Medication Optimization Methodology

Abstract

VIONE methodology is an award winning, USA based patient 
safety project that transformed our national landscape with 
High Reliability Organization (HRO) concepts. VIONE’s clinical, 
academic, research, leadership, modern technology tools achieve 
sustainable reductions and optimization of Potentially Inappropriate Medications (PIM) and adverse outcomes such as hospitalizations, falls, death, clinical waste, etc. VIONE exemplifies successful 
project initiation, refinement, incremental expansion to regional, 
national, and international therapeutic and global alliances. Decision support tools are seamlessly integrated into the workflow. To 
date, over 11,000 medical providers deprescribed over 1 million 
medication orders in 112 veterans affairs (VA) medical facilities 
with cost avoidance of over 100 million US dollars within 6-years
