  • a list of the medications prescribed to, and found in the systems of, such veterans at the time of their deaths, and a summary of medical diagnoses by VA physicians which led to the prescribing of such medications;
  • the number of instances in which the veteran was concurrently on multiple medications prescribed by VA physicians;
  • the percentage of veterans who were not taking any medication prescribed by a VA physician;
  • the percentage of veterans with combat experience or trauma;
  • Veterans Health Administration facilities with markedly high prescription and patient suicide rates;
  • a description of VA policies governing the prescribing of medications; and
  • recommendations to improve the safety and well-being of veterans.
