MEDICATION ADHERENCE: DEFINING THE PROBLEM November 7, 2012 Marquila Ferrell & Sarah Hudson The University of Toledo
Objectives 2  Define medication adherence  Explore the differences between medication adherence and medication compliance  Identify associated statistics  Factors that contribute to medication adherence  Why medication adherence matters?
Introduction 3  125,000 people die a year due to failure to take medication or taking medications improperly  Almost 6 out of 10 people are taking at least one prescription drug  More than 1 in 3 medicine-related hospital admissions occur due to people not properly adhering to their medications Script Your Future. (2012). National Consumers League.
What is Medication Adherence? 4 “The extent to which patients take medications as prescribed by health care providers.” Osterberg, L., & Blaschke, T. (2005). Adherence to medication. New England journal of medicine, 353(5), 487- 97.
Medication Adherence vs. Patient Compliance 5 “Compliance suggests that the patient is passively following the doctor’s orders and that the treatment plan is not based on a therapeutic alliance or contract established between the patient and the physician.” Osterberg, L., & Blaschke, T. (2005). Adherence to medication. New England journal of medicine, 353(5), 487.
Medication Non-Adherence 6  Intentional medication non-adherence  “Active process whereby the patient chooses to deviate from the treatment regimen.”  Unintentional medication non-adherence  “Passive process in which the patient may be careless or forgetful about adhering to treatment regimen.” Ho, P., Bryson, C., , & Rumsfeld, J. (2009). Medication adherence: Its importance in Cardiovascular Outcomes. Circulation, 119(23), 3031.
Effects of Medication Non-Adherence 7  Increased hospital readmission  Increased disease progression and complications  Increased health care costs  Decreased quality of life  Patient death
Patient Interviews 8 “Taking my medication helps balance my life. If I do not take it, I often get sick or have emotional episodes.”
