Filter by:To assess the effectiveness of social comparison in improving the outcome of statin adherence versus usual care as measured by an electronic pill bottle. Subjects receiving weekly reports with their adherence and information about their place in the distribution of their peers will have the highest statin adherence of any arm, as measured by electronic pill bottle.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate how engaging ACO beneficiaries in the appointment based model for one year impacts medication adherence and healthcare costs compared to usual care.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of the proposed smoking cessation intervention (called MyMAP or My Mobile Advice Program).
This is a prospective study using a concierge model of customized adherence enhancement and long-acting injectable antipsychotic (CAL-Concierge) in 30 individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder at risk for treatment non-adherence and for homelessness. Like the CAE-L approach, CAL-Concierge is expected to improve health outcomes among the most vulnerable of populations with schizophrenia but even more importantly, will demonstrate that it can be used to improve the efficiency and quality of care in typical practice settings.
The purpose of the study are: 1. To estimate the prevalence of non-adherence to immunosuppressants, and to other treatment-related aspects (smoking cessation, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and appointment keeping), in KT recipients among different KT centres across different regions of Brazil; 2. To explore multilevel factors associated to immunosuppressive adherence at the level of patient (socio-demographic, clinical), healthcare provider (patient satisfaction with the interpersonal dimension of care, trust in the transplant team, social support), healthcare organization (composition of the team, operational access, CIM transplant program practice patterns), and healthcare system and policies (perceived financial burden of the treatment regimen, insurance status, barriers to access to the immunosuppressive drugs, Brazilian region);
To assess the effectiveness of reporting statin adherence patterns to a Medication Adherence Partner (MAP) in improving the outcome of statin adherence versus usual care as measured by an electronic pill bottle. Hypothesis: Subjects with a MAP receiving daily adherence feedback will have the highest statin adherence of any arm, as measured by pill bottle data.
Purpose: To examine the impact of a personal health record (PHR) on medication use safety among older adults. Background: Online PHRs have potential as tools to manage health information. We know little about how to make PHRs accessible for older adults and what effects this will have. Methods: A PHR was designed and pretested with older adults and tested in a six-month randomized controlled trial. After completing mailed baseline questionnaires, eligible computer users aged 65 and over were randomized 3:1 to be given access to a PHR (n=802) or serve as a standard care control group (n=273). Follow-up questionnaires measured change from baseline medication use, medication reconciliation behaviors, and medication management problems.
The impact of medications used for secondary stroke prevention relies heavily upon patient adherence. Adherence is defined as "the extent to which a person's behavior - taking medication, following a diet, and/or executing lifestyle changes, corresponds with agreed recommendations from a health care provider." It is said that optimal adherence to medications may reduce the risk of a poor outcome by 26%. The purpose of this study which is a non-pharmacologic behavioral study is to encourage adherence to medications in stroke survivors by tailored and specific SMS reminders. (Short Text Messages). These SMS reminders will support and assist stroke patients to take medications as prescribed and on time. We hypothesise that SMS will improve the adherence of patients to stroke medications by 2 points on the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmaceutical care, compared to usual care, in patient discharge in an emergency department in patients with hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus type 2.
To determine the effect of synchronizing a patient's prescription refill schedule on medication adherence. The targeted population is Humana members who are currently taking 2 or more Stars medications (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes) and are current customers of RightSource. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups. Group one will be usual care and group two will be the Rx synchronization group.
