Medication nonadherence significantly impacts patient health and increases healthcare costs
Medication nonadherence significantly impacts patient health and increases healthcare costs. Effective medication therapy hinges on patients not only obtaining their medications but also adhering consistently to their prescribed regimens. This challenge intensifies for those requiring multiple medications or facing obstacles like high costs, side effects, limited availability, or difficulties in accessing pharmacies.
The factors contributing to nonadherence vary widely and are often deeply personal. Addressing this issue requires a comprehensive approach that includes a variety of strategies tailored to individual needs. Equally crucial is a well-informed care team equipped to collaborate closely with patients, ensuring they achieve the best possible health outcomes.

Reduced total cost of care
Using AI-enabled propensity modeling, healthcare organizations can predict which patients are at risk of nonadherence and once identified, these patients can be placed into early, personalized intervention programs.
Enhanced enterprise collaboration
Providers and the care team work together to ensure patients who are at risk of nonadherence are directed to the right care program and receive the resources they need.
