TAILIEUCHUNG - Enhancing Prescription Medicine Adherence: A National Action Plan

Pharmacists are more likely than your doctor to have the detailed answers you want about your medications. You may be surprised at the services your pharmacist can provide. In most states, only your doctor or medical professional, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner can actu- ally prescribe a medication. But your pharmacist can suggest helpful prescription changes to your doctor or medical professional. The more you can work in a trio—you, your doctor and your pharma- cist—the more you will benefit from your medications | EDUCATE before YOU medicate EESz Enhancing Prescription Medicine Adherence A National Action Plan National Council on Patient Information and Education August 2007 Copyright 2007 by National Council on Patient Information and Education.

Preface In the United States and around the world there is compelling evidence that patients are not taking their medicines as prescribed resulting in significant consequences. Lack of medication adherence is America s other drug problem and leads to unnecessary disease progression disease complications reduced functional abilities a lower quality of life and even death. Contributing to America s other drug problem are numerous behavioral social economic medical and policy-related factors that must be addressed if medication adherence rates are to improve. This includes lack of awareness among clinicians about basic adherence management principles poor communication between patients and clinicians operational aspects of pharmacy and medical practice and professional barriers. Moreover adherence improvement is affected by federal policies that provide insufficient funding for adherence-related research and federal and state laws and regulations that impact the availability of compliance assistance programs. All of these problems contribute to a rising tide of poor medication adherence and all must be addressed. The ramifications of poor prescription medicine adherence affect virtually every aspect of the health care system. Addressing this persistent and pervasive problem cannot wait. .
