DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS


Notice of Intent To Grant an Exclusive License

AGENCY: Office of Research and Development, Department of Veterans 
Affairs.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Department of Veterans Affairs

Arbor, MI 48105, an exclusive license to the know-how documented in VA

medication reconciliation, leaves fewer opportunities for error, and 
provides the patient with a clear and concise medication list upon 
discharge.
