Improving medication use and adherence is a system-wide challenge. Health reform is changing the dynamics between delivery systems, payers, pharmacies and Big Pharma, and it's time to think about medication adherence beyond fill rates, to make it part of every patient care or support program. Adherence is not the goal, but a byproduct of improved care coordination and better outcomes. Further, adherence is not equal among all patients. Targeting the right individuals and engaging them with the right personalized interventions before they become non-adherent will set you on the right path and is gaining ground with prescribers as well. Attend this Summit to be informed and engage in a dialogue on how to collaborate with your peers to address the challenges of better adherence and outcomes.
