Overcoming Poor Patient Adherence to Improve Health Outcomes

EN BREF ...

"Poor adherence to medication therapy is a common challenge contributing to increase in disease, deaths, and escalating healthcare costs. The issue has plagued patients, providers, health systems, and life science companies for decades. While frequently called out as the next frontier in healthcare, there has been limited, if any, progress on this issue. Now, on the heels of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the momentum may be changing with a renewed sense of urgency to improve adherence as health systems, providers, payers, and pharmaceutical companies around the world accelerate the shift towards personalized care. Innovations include the transformation from hospital-based to home-based care, new approaches to addressing risk factors from personal behaviors, the shifts in delivery of care, and new models for radical collaboration among stakeholders – all of which have the potential to break through long standing barriers to adherence and ultimately improve health outcomes."
