Seattle, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/11/2019 -- Compliance of a patient to the prescribed medications with recommended dosage and stipulated time is called medical adherence. Proper medical adherence can help to avoid major health problems. According to America Heart Association Inc. (2016) around 3 out 4 people in the U.S. do not take their medications as directed, which leads to around 125,000 fatalities, annually. Major factors that promote medical non-adherence include, failing to take medication on time, high costs of medicines, and lack of awareness about the importance of taking medication in a timely manner. For instance, according to the stats of the Million Hearts based on study conducted in 2009, out of 100 prescriptions written only 50-70 are received at the pharmacy and 48-66 purchase the prescribed medication. Out of these, only 25-30 takes their medications properly and around only 15-20 refill the medications as prescribed.

Some of the factors that promote medical adherence include, focus of clinicians/healthcare professionals on decreasing the percentage of medical non-adherence. This can be done by encouraging patients to take medicines on time and writing clear medical prescription instructions with proper explanation. Verbal reinforcement and explaining the advantages of medical adherence can also be instrumental. Moreover, proper and constant communication between patients and doctors aids in recognizing the fears or issues that may lead to non-adherence of medication. Healthcare professionals need to explain the role of medicines in simple (non-medical) language and follow-up on patients in order to boost medical adherence.

Following some assessment methods can improve medical adherence such as direct method and indirect method. Direct observation, measurement of biological markers, and measurement of the medicines/metabolite in blood come under direct assessment method. Indirect assessment method behavior or physiological markers assessment, self-reporting through surveys, interviews, through secondary data and by electronic monitoring such as using some mobile apps or by e-pills are indirect methods of measuring medical adherence.
