What is Medication Adherence?What is Medication Adherence?
Medication Adherence: Extent to which a patient takes their medications correctly.
• Poor adherence can lead to worse health outcomes, expensive hospitalization, or even death.
• Costs of non‐adherence estimated to be as high as $290 billion.

Research ObjectiveResearch Objective
Examine prescription medication adherence in the U.S.
• Focus on those who use medication most regularly and therefore are at greatest risk if non‐adherent
• Quantify non‐adherence in a national report card
Evaluate demographic, attitudinal and experiential factors that influence adherence
• Identify possible ways to increase compliance
![Page 8: NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] · Microsoft PowerPoint - NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] Author: jbruckart Created Date: 6/25/2013 9:38:12 AM ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5fdaf05ddec576165866daed/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MethodologyMethodology
NCPA commissioned:
• A nationally representative survey of American adults age 40+ with at least one chronic condition for which they have been prescribed one or more medications to take on an ongoing basis
• 1,020 telephone interviews, Feb. 20–March 10, 2013
• Landline (N = 720) and cell‐phone (N = 300)
![Page 9: NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] · Microsoft PowerPoint - NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] Author: jbruckart Created Date: 6/25/2013 9:38:12 AM ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5fdaf05ddec576165866daed/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Population ProfilePopulation Profile
• Among adults age 40+, 48% report having been prescribed a medication for a chronic condition – Most common: high blood pressure (57%), high cholesterol (47 %)
• 2/3 have had Rx for chronic condition for 6+ yrs• Four in 10 have seen a doctor at least 5 times in the past year, including 20% with 10+ visits
• While 83% are self‐reliant, one in six relies at least to some extent on others for reminders about taking their medications

Measuring AdherenceMeasuring Adherence
Ask if respondents, in the past 12 months…
– Failed to fill or refill a prescription– Missed a dose– Took a lower or higher dose than prescribed– Stopped taking a medication early– Took an old medication for a new problem– Took someone else’s medication– Forgot whether they’d taken a medication
![Page 11: NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] · Microsoft PowerPoint - NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] Author: jbruckart Created Date: 6/25/2013 9:38:12 AM ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5fdaf05ddec576165866daed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ResultsResults
• About three‐quarters concede at least one type of non‐adherent behavior in the past 12 months
• More than half report multiple non‐adherent behaviors (average appx. 2)
• Non‐adherence, if anything, could be understated
…Even as more than nine in 10 say it’s important to take their medication exactly as prescribed

Understanding Non‐ComplianceUnderstanding Non‐Compliance
Modeling identifies six key predictors:
• Patients’ personal connection with a pharmacist or pharmacy staff
• Ease of affording medication• Continuity of care• Recognizing the importance of taking
medication exactly as prescribed• Feeling informed about health• Extent medication causes unpleasant side
effects
![Page 16: NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] · Microsoft PowerPoint - NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] Author: jbruckart Created Date: 6/25/2013 9:38:12 AM ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5fdaf05ddec576165866daed/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Of These…Of These…
Patients’ relationships with pharmacists and doctors are critical.
• Connectedness: Having a pharmacist (or pharmacy staff) who “knows you pretty well” is the single strongest predictor of adherence
• Continuity: Always seeing the same doctor is another strong predictor
![Page 17: NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] · Microsoft PowerPoint - NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] Author: jbruckart Created Date: 6/25/2013 9:38:12 AM ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5fdaf05ddec576165866daed/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Role of Cost…The Role of Cost…
Affordability is the second‐strongest predictor of adherence.
• A third overall report difficulty paying for their medications
• Among the non‐adherent who find it hard to afford, 42% cite “trying to save money” as a major reason, vs. 10% of those who can easily afford their Rx
• Similar pattern for those who lack insurance and for lower‐income Americans
![Page 18: NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] · Microsoft PowerPoint - NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] Author: jbruckart Created Date: 6/25/2013 9:38:12 AM ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5fdaf05ddec576165866daed/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
…And Information…And Information
Two further predictors reflect the key role of information in adherence:
• Recognizing the importance of taking medication exactly as prescribed
• Feeling informed about health

SummarySummary
This national report card finds troubling levels of medication non‐adherence:
• Millions of Americans are departing from doctors’ instructions in taking their medications
• Overall C+ is highly problematic given the risks• One in seven, more than 10 million adults, get a
failing grade• Personal risk and systemic costs are high• Aging population holds the prospect for
increased non‐adherence
![Page 26: NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] · Microsoft PowerPoint - NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] Author: jbruckart Created Date: 6/25/2013 9:38:12 AM ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5fdaf05ddec576165866daed/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SummarySummary
Key factors influencing adherence include:
• Having a personal connection with a pharmacist• The affordability of medication• Having continuity of care• Believing it is important to follow Rx instructions• Feeling informed about one’s health• (Not) having medication side effects

How Pharmacists Can HelpHow Pharmacists Can Help
Pharmacists can help patients and caregivers overcome barriers to follow medication regimens.
• Report reinforces the role of pharmacy services like medication therapy management (MTM) and synchronized‐refill programs like Simplify My Meds.TM
![Page 30: NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] · Microsoft PowerPoint - NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] Author: jbruckart Created Date: 6/25/2013 9:38:12 AM ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5fdaf05ddec576165866daed/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
How Pharmacists Can HelpHow Pharmacists Can Help
Independent Pharmacists are well‐suited to boost patient adherence through connectedness:
• Patients who primarily use an independent community pharmacy are 33 percent more likely to say the pharmacy staff “knows them pretty well” than customers of national chain pharmacies & more than twice as likely as customers of mail order pharmacies.
![Page 31: NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] · Microsoft PowerPoint - NCPA presentation FINAL VERSION.pptx [Read-Only] Author: jbruckart Created Date: 6/25/2013 9:38:12 AM ...](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5fdaf05ddec576165866daed/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Policy & Stakeholder ImplicationsPolicy & Stakeholder Implications
Congress should enact the Medication Therapy Management Empowerment Act (H.R. 1024/S. 557).
States should adopt legislation that gives patients a choice in pharmacy services and prevents them from being forced into mandatory mail order plans.
Plan sponsors should support access for patients and caregivers to the pharmacy that best meets their individual needs.

Policy & Stakeholder Implications (cont’d)Policy & Stakeholder Implications (cont’d)
Payers should not rely solely on fill rates as an indicator of quality as these metrics can produce unnecessary waste, costs to the system.
Payers should remove existing barriers and encourage greater adoption of medication synchronization services as a standard of care.
