The Effect Of Gmms On Study Medication Adherence Has Increased Considerably Throughout The Past Few Years

In order to evaluate and compare medication compliance the patient’s discharge medication reconciliation were compared to patient’s medication list at time of first office visit. Of the patients in population 1 (N=82), 71 were seen back for follow up and 11 never returned. Of the 71 that returned for follow up 97.18% (N=69) were compliant with discharged core measure medications. Population 2 (N=104), 97 were seen back for follow up with 7 never returned. Of the 97 seen back for office follow up 100% (N=97) were compliant with discharged core measure medications. Statistical analysis of the two population did not find a statistically significant difference (p= 0.0991).

According to Kennedy (2010), “Medication errors continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality. Thus, in turn, cost the health care system millions of dollars each year in preventable costs.”(p.1). For this reason, a service such as Medication Therapy Management, also known as (MTM), which can be described as a diverse service or services that focus on drug therapy with the objective to improve healthcare services was introduced throughout the health care systems. This is done by improving pharmaceutical safety which results in enhanced therapeutic results for individual patients, meanwhile reducing cost for both the patients and healthcare institutions. In order for MTM to be successful and to ensure that patients get more

Adherence is defined as the extent to which a person's behaviour in taking medication which requires the person's agreement to the recommendations for treatment from health care provider(4) to achieve healthy lifestyle. (7) In the situation that not following the health care provider’s orders correctly, it is known as the medication non-adherence. Medication non-adherence will lead to multidimensional health care problem. (1) Non-adherence of medication will be occured among patients during different stages of their therapy.

In the dissertation Adherence to Stimulants in Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, O’Callaghan (2009) examines the experiences, points of view and insights of adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as it relates to medication adherence. The theoretical foundation for the study is centered on the Health Belief Model, in which an individual’s perceived acuteness of ADHD symptoms, perceived efficacy and cost of medication treatment influence medication adherence (O’Callaghan, 2009). To gain a better understanding the complexities of medication adherence among adults with ADHD, the researcher used the mixed methods approach of explanatory sequential design (O’Callaghan, 2009). For this particular study, the quantitative

In all honesty I enjoyed the medical adherence project. It is not often in many of my college courses I get to participate in an hands on project. Participating in the medical adherence project I believe allows one to understand to some degree what one has to go through with a chronic illness. Taking the red pill and blue pill was fairly easy for me. I have struggled on and off with severe acne for around 9-10 years. Over that course of time I was on two different antibiotics for two years. Both that I was prescribed were to be taken in the morning and night. I as well over this course have had some type of facial regimen almost every day since I have struggled with acne. Though, it has taught me consistency and has ingrained in me regimens.

Brath et al, (2013), study showed that mHealth based adherence management is feasible and well accepted by patients. The electronic blister packs used in the study may help to increase adherence, even in patients with a high baseline adherence. The patients used in

PPB. I decided this model is the most applicable and relatable to Mr. PPB’s two main obstacles, which are inactivity and unhealthy food choices. Ruggiero (2000) declared that TTM is being used in application of diabetic care since 1993.In addition, it is based on a premise that people are at different stages of motivational readiness for engaging in health behaviors and intervention approaches are most useful when they are matched to a person 's current stage of change. It was also mentioned that a linear process is not expected as people may move forward and backward multiple times before changing for good. As Marshall and Biddle (2001) further emphasized that TTM is a dynamic rather than an “ all or nothing” phenomenon where evidence implied that individuals attempting to change their physical activity behavior move through a series of stages.

From my perspective, normative theories are appropriate methods of carrying out a task. Jim Summers (2014) describes several of these theories in our readings. While I found each one interesting, his discussion about ethical egoism intrigued me the most. He believes that ethical egoism does not qualify as normative because “It is not binding on all” and that it is more of “an ethical problem” (Summers, 2014, p. 7 ). I agree egoism is an ethical issue, however, the consequences of the theory brings justification as to why it should be recognized as a normative theory.

adherence. In this article, we discuss how adherence data can be used to support Quality

The second metrics that Medtronic use to determine and track the quality of reporting to governing bodies is the Medtronic Adoption and Adherence Metric. Medtronic Adoption and Adherence Metric is intended to reflect how effective Clinical Connect has been adopted by teams and how effective Clinical Connect is being used for reporting. Clinical Connect is a management reporting software used by teams when engaging physicians and health care providers. Adoption and Adherence metrics measure both a quantitative and qualitative measure to the adoption and adherence of Clinical Connect by multiple Medtronic Teams. The quantitative and qualitative combination measure the volume and type of issues, actions, potential risk, and decisions accurately

Other reports have shown that approximately 40% of patients report not following prescribed treatment regimens [15] or rate their adherence as less than excellent [16].

To the best of our knowledge this is one of the first studies to explore the association between medication adherence and the potentially inappropriate medication use and also the related socio-demographic variables in elderly population with chronic illness in an outpatient setup. Adherence is measured by three levelled MMAS-8, PIM is evaluated by AGS Beers criteria 2015 and the data were analysed by ordinal logistic regression model. Two hundred-six patients (48.5%) do not adhere to the regimens as prescribed (MMAS-8 < 6) while 179 (42.1%) had medium adherence (MMAS-8 6 to criteria cannot be used as a gold standard, as they do not identify all cases and aspects of potentially inappropriate prescribing and the criteria are designed

I actually got confused with your outcomes, It seems that they all have to do with medication adherence, and your actually say that 99% of the audience will be able to identify three medication adherence behaviors within three months, I would think that is rather high %, , would a lower number be more realistic, unless of course you are giving this presentation to co-workers that work strictly with those that have mental illness, then that number would be realistic. I also noticed you did not have a reference page, hopfully this is something that you have, cut were unable to bring to the discussion board,

The finding that perceived barriers, like side effects and complexity, can have negative effects on compliance is in line with earlier findings. This is to be
