Description
Summary:	Patients with multimorbidity often require the concomitant use of multiple medications, presenting general practitioners (GPs) with the dilemma of assessing the benefits and risks due to complex and potential interactions between diseases and medications. This article takes one case of a multimorbid patient at a community health service center to illustrate and elucidate the process by which GP employs a medication decision-making framework for multimorbidity (MDMF). Furthermore, by examining the multi-stage goals set by Ariadne principle in the process of multimorbidity management, this article analyzes the key points and considerations for GPs in the assessment, communication, and making treatment plans, thereby offering reference to improve the quality of medication decision-making for patients with multimorbidity in the community.
