Medication Adherence

Medication adherence refers to ensuring that patients are taking the right dosage of their prescribed medication at the right time. It is a crucial part of patient care and improving quality of care and health outcomes, particularly for patients with chronic conditions. It may also impact several clinical goals that affect a health plan’s quality and cost measures. For Medicare Advantage programs, medication adherence has a large impact on contract performance and ultimately, may result in incentive payments.

Patients at high risk for non-adherence or late to fill are identified through the Aledade App. A comprehensive patient engagement approach combines text campaigns, pharmacy support, and practice outreach. Learn more by visiting Medication Adherence Services.
