Adherence to Pharmacotherapy

Chronic diseases and conditions require medication adherence in order to gain the maximum benefit and prevent disease progression. Clinical practice sites measure the impact of adherence on clinical and humanistic outcomes.  Cultural considerations in adherence in special populations are an important consideration in PPS practice-based research.

For more about our adherence in diabetes care see the P³ Program.
