Millions of uninsured Americans will soon enter the healthcare system due to the Affordable Care Act, posing challenges around managing pre-existing and untreated conditions with limited health education. Research shows uncontrolled conditions are more common in the uninsured. All healthcare stakeholders must focus on improving medication adherence to help offset inexperience in some new patients and avoid negative health outcomes. Suggestions include simplifying messages, providing educational programs, understanding audience behaviors and barriers, and making prescription renewals and regimens simple. While quick fixes don't solve this complex issue, increased adherence is crucial.

People want more control over their rising health care costs. Health plans, providers, employers and even the federal government are working to improve the situation for consumers, but there remains a large divide between where we are today and where we want to be.

Use of medical marijuana (MM) has been legalized on a state-by-state basis; however, federally, it is still illegal and is a Schedule I drug. This has led to provider confusion regarding prescription practices, a lack of randomized control trials on the use of MM for pain and symptom management, minimal access to dispensaries, and health insurance restrictions.

Forgetting to take medications impacts the health of employees, and increases healthcare costs. RememberItNow! cell phone reminders help employees take the right medication, at the right time, in the right dose.
In a health care system where consumers are empowered to actively choose among health plans, providers, and treatment options, delivering a satisfying customer experience is key to differentiation. The first step towards winning in a consumer-centric marketplace: understand how this new informed and engaged consumer views the health care system and how they define quality and value.

For our second edition of our brand new e-zine, we’re shining the spotlight on the intriguing topic of patient insights. We discuss the role of patient insights and what impact it has on improving patient outcomes, and highlight new ways pharma can engage with patients.
So what are you waiting for? Head over to the website now for the latest edition of Spotlight On. Again, if you like what you see, feel free to share it with others. And if the first edition passed you by, don’t worry, it’s still available to read. Enjoy!
Senior Citizens need to have comprehensive medical evaluations that are readily available to emergency providers. Electronic Medical Recording is ideal for having much needed information at the proper person's finger tips. The hesitancy of primary care physicians to employ EMR/EHR systems places a heavy burden on emergency departments in the United States. Senior citizens often have special needs that are not readily known by first responders and in a crisis situations, the care provided is based on standard of care and not special needs. Innovative alternatives to the current data taking, storage and retrieval process.
Two major trends dominate healthcare in the United States. Chronic Illness is on the rise, meaning American's are having more difficulty than ever attaining mental and physical wellness. Providers are facing an unfriendly business of medicine environment requiring them to solve complex management problems while maintaining a high level of clinical excellence. The payment goal posts have moved requiring providers to understand and measure the value they provide to patients, not just the services they complete or perform. As providers struggle to understand the meaning of value in medicine and what outcomes qualify, consumers continually turn to alternative medicine and wellness initiatives to maintain their health.
A consumer study prepared by PwC to investigate how behavioral, regulatory, and technological disruption are changing consumer's approaches to managing their health.
Although symptoms can vary widely, the first problem many people notice is forgetfulness severe enough to affect their ability to function at home or at work or to enjoy lifelong hobbies.
Vaccines: Linking Awareness, Access, and ActionRx EDGE
This presentation was delivered at the PEPP (DTC Perspective’s “Patient Engagement through Physicians and Pharmacists” event).
The presentation dicusses the current landscape and the tactics and strategies currently being undertaken in this critical public health area. It also shares insights from pharmacy programs in the Tdap, flu, and shingles categories.
The mission of the program is to sensitize the elderly about how they could get access to their medicine. The primary goal is to ensure that older adults are living well by getting access to their medicines when they want them depending on their condition

1. White Paper #4:
Adhere Or Disappear
By the end of this year, millions of currently un(der)insured will be flooding into the US healthcare
system. This influx may include patients with undertreated and pre-existing conditions, and with
limited education on how to manage their diseases. A real challenge for organizations that live
by and get measured by evidence-based performance achievements.
More than one in six adults with either high cholesterol or hypertension have no health insurance
coverage. Among nonelderly adults with high cholesterol, the condition was uncontrolled for
approximately 80% of those with no health insurance, compared with about 60% of those with
private or public health insurance (NHANES, 2011).
We are in for a wild ride. Providers, payers, pharmaceuticals, patients, patient advocates and
caregivers, public at large...turn your attention to adherence, more so than ever!
What are some options to ensure even a slight upswing in national adherence percentages?
How do we offset the inexperience in medication management from some of the newly entering
healthcare exchange patients?
1. Simplify your messaging. You can call it 5th grade reading level messaging, or name it
health literate communication. Make your calls to action stand out, so that they are easily
understood and can be executed in a streamlined way, 1-2-3.
2. As you dabble in social media, provide an analog, old-fashioned educational presence.
Ensure pharmacy-delivered instructional programs, provide the caregiver and the extended
family with knowledge and insights. Awaken your multicultural sensitivity and listen closely to
the needs of the various sub-populations in the US
3. Research your audience. Establish the attitudinal/behavioral drivers and barriers of (non-)
adherence. Medication compliance and persistence result from a chain of cognitive and
emotional processes, such as knowledge gathering, expectation (re)setting, and motivating
4. Make it simple for patients to remember their regimens. The number of concomitant
medications a given patient takes can be difficult to track throughout the day. Trackers with
built-in drug-drug interaction and other intelligent rules can help manage
5. Make it simple to renew prescriptions. Selected pharmacy chains in the US allow for easy
refills through QR coding. Patients with QR code-reading devices can download the chain’s
app, point, click and the prescription is delivered to their house, monthly or as a 90-day refill
This list is not a 1 to 5 quick fix for a pervasive problem across many initially asymptomatic
disease areas. The repercussions of non-adherence are different for all of us, but one thing is
clear….adhere or disappear. Happy to help you strategize…
