More than two-thirds of older adults in the US are living with two or more chronic conditions. Living with multiple chronic illnesses frequently leads to the need to coordinate care across several health care providers and manage multiple medications. Additionally, persons living with several chronic conditions are at an increased risk of experiencing hospitalization and loss of independence. Our research aims to enhance patient-clinician communication, build the evidence for behavioral treatments, reduce unnecessary drug treatment, and optimize well-being and health for persons living with multiple chronic conditions.
