Medication Adherence Tools for Improving Drug Access
Connect patients to targeted support that breaks down barriers to medication adherence, including financial or behavioral hurdles.
Overcoming Barriers to Medication Adherence
Cost and therapy initiation concerns
Patients may be motivated to start their prescribed therapy, but sticker shock, complex dosing regimens, or pharmacy fulfillment confusion slow therapy starts.
Disconnected patient support programs
Even the best copay assistance and educational programs fail to make an impact when patients don’t know they exist or how to access them.
Abandonment after the first fill
Improving patient adherence over the long term is nearly impossible when support teams lack a trusted and compliant digital channel to reinforce behavior over time.
What are the most effective medication adherence tools for overcoming patient abandonment?
The most effective medication adherence tools leverage automated, mobile-first communication sent on behalf of the patient's trusted provider moments after the consultation ends. Connecting patients to a secure link that leads to copay assistance and drug education on their smartphone actively dismantles barriers to medication adherence to improve specialty drug access and secure long-term persistence.
