Article Synopsis
- The study reviews how well-designed interventions involving pillboxes can help improve medication adherence, highlighting the importance of understanding various intervention components.* -
- Researchers examined 40 studies from five databases, finding that many articles lacked detailed information on key aspects like training and execution of the interventions, which is crucial for reliable outcomes.* -
- The findings emphasize the need for clearer reporting of intervention details to effectively identify which elements of pillboxes contribute to better medication adherence and to facilitate future research.*
This research examined provider and hospital factors associated with patients' perceptions of how often explanations of new medications were "always" given to them, using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores. HCAHPS results were obtained for October 2012 to September 2013, from 3,420 hospitals and combined with a Magnet-designated hospital listing. Multiple regression examined correlates of new medication communication, including health care provider factors (perceptions of nurse and physician communication) and health care system factors (magnet designation, hospital ownership, hospital type, availability of emergency services, and survey numbers).
