Impact of a Multicomponent Digital Therapeutic Mobile App on Medication Adherence in Patients with Chronic Conditions: Retrospective Analysis.

Background: Strategies to improve medication adherence are widespread in the literature; however, their impact is limited in real practice. Few patients persistently engage long-term to improve health outcomes, even when they are aware of the consequences of poor adherence. Despite the potential of mobile phone apps as a tool to manage medication adherence, there is still limited evidence of the impact of these innovative interventions.

Pharmacist-led medication non-adherence intervention: reducing the economic burden placed on the Australian health care system.

Scarcity of prospective medication non-adherence cost measurements for the Australian population with no directly measured estimates makes determining the burden medication non-adherence places on the Australian health care system difficult. This study aims to indirectly estimate the national cost of medication non-adherence in Australia comparing the cost prior to and following a community pharmacy-led intervention. Retrospective observational study.

An evidence-based model to consolidate medication adherence cost estimation: the medication adherence cost estimation framework.

To develop a standardized framework determining the economic impact of medication nonadherence. Secondary analysis of existing literature reported cost data, aggregating cost outcome indicators. Weighted-average cost analysis performed, determining the proportional contribution to total cost.

Using Dispensing Data to Evaluate Adherence Implementation Rates in Community Pharmacy.

Medication non-adherence remains a significant problem for the health care system with clinical, humanistic and economic impact. Dispensing data is a valuable and commonly utilized measure due accessibility in electronic health data. The purpose of this study was to analyze the changes on adherence implementation rates before and after a community pharmacist intervention integrated in usual real life practice, incorporating big data analysis techniques to evaluate Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) from pharmacy dispensing data.

Economic impact of medication non-adherence by disease groups: a systematic review.

Objective: To determine the economic impact of medication non-adherence across multiple disease groups.

Design: Systematic review.

Evidence Review: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus in September 2017.
