Why medication non adherence matters?
Prescription medications are only effective when they are taken. Taking medications as prescribed is linked to better health.
Non adherence is a tremendous problem causing thousands of premature death and demanding care that would otherwise be unnecessary.
The following is a list of typical compliance statistics (http://www.jarcet.com/articles/Vol3Iss3/Wertheimer.htm)
Approximately 125,000 people with treatable ailments die each year in the USA because they do not take their medication properly.
- Fourteen to 21% of patients never fill their original prescriptions.
- Sixty percent of all patients cannot identify their own medications.
- 30% to 50% of all patients ignore or otherwise compromise instructions concerning their medication.
- Approximately one fourth of all nursing home admissions are related to improper self-administration of medicine.
- 12% to 20% of patients take other people's medicines.
- Hospital costs due to patient noncompliance are estimated at $8.5 billion annually.
