Pharmacy adherence win
January 17, 2014
A NEW study project conducted
by the US National Community
Pharmacists Association (NCPA) has
demonstrated significant benefits
for pharmacy-driven medication
adherence programs.
The research showed that
patients who opt in to medication
synchronization programs offered
through their community pharmacy
average more than 100 additional
days on therapy per year and are
30 percent more likely to take
their medication as prescribed
than patients not enrolled in a
synchronisation program.
The study conducted by NCPA and
technology partner Ateb involved
more than 1,300 patients enrolled
in medication synchronisation
programs at 10 independent
community pharmacies across the
USA.
“This study confirms that
a personalised medication
synchronisation service delivered
by community pharmacies is
impactful, scalable, and able to
be replicated in any community
pharmacy,” said NCPA ceo B.
Douglas Hoey, RPh, MBA.
