8. Usability and Design: Improved outcomes
The process facilitated by the Meducation® Adherence Driver™ improves patient
adherence
• Improved medication adherence is associated with decreased rate of ED visits,
decreased adverse events and improved mortality13
• Non-adherence in the U.S. costs an estimated $250 billion annually11
• Chronically ill patients who adhere to their medications generate an average
annual savings of $4,186 per person versus those who are not adherent12
Informed discussions improve patient engagement and outcomes
• Effective physician-patient communication is associated with better
physiological and behavioral health outcomes9,10
Tailored printed materials address health literacy issues
• One in five Americans read at or below a 5th grade reading level1
• Low health literacy leads to increased medication errors, decreased treatment
compliance and an increased risk of rehospitalization1,2,3
• Low health literacy costs the U.S. a minimum of $106 billion annually4
• Educational interventions tailored to low health literacy drive improved health
outcomes5,6,7,8
