Medication adherence plays an increasingly critical role in patient outcomes, pharmacy success and health plan cost reductions. Without adherence, national healthcare spending increases by more than 10% and quality measures and patient satisfaction suffer.

The pandemic only intensifies the struggle. COVID-19 disproportionately affects patients with underlying health conditions, making conditions like asthma, hypertension and diabetes even more deadly. The pandemic significantly raises the stakes for medication adherence.

With the right technology platform and patient engagement approach, pharmacies and health plans can help put an end to the risks caused by medication nonadherence.
