Medication Adherence - People Don't Take Their Meds

50% of Patients Do Not Take Their Medications as Prescribed

22% of People Don't Even Fill Their Prescriptions.

Asymptomatic Diseases Like Hypertension, High Cholesterol and Diabetes Have the Lowest Adherence Rates.

When a Patient is Admitted to the Hospital, Their Medications are Strictly Administered by Nurses and Tracked by the Medication Allocation Record (MAR).

This Strict Medication Adherence and Tracking ALONE Can Effectively Treat Out-of-Control Hypertension, Diabetes and Congestive Heart Failure.

The patients ability to self management their diagnosis is a telling sign of their what their treatment plan would look like. I remember using a tool to capture this information. I can’t remember the name of it. I believe it’s origin was from Australia.
