Many utilize medications to maintain optimal health and improve their quality of life. Unfortunately, adverse medication events cost about $120 billion annually and result in illness, hospitalizations, stress on the individuals and their families, and premature deaths. Vermont is attempting to do something about this problem through their CMS Real Choices Supportive Housing Grant.

Massachusetts was among the first states to receive a Real Choice grant and like many states, took a while to start the grant activities. The work of this collaboration did not always progress smoothly. Many setbacks were experienced by all parties. However, as the end of the grant drew near, key stakeholders looked back and realized that significant progress had been made. This report and a companion video documents lessons learned for policy makers and other stakeholders.
