Improve Health and Reduce Cost Through Better Medication Adherence
Unnecessary prescriptions cost as much as $50 billion annually, and 50% of the 1.8 billion medications dispensed annually are not taken correctly in many cases resulting in avoidable hospitalizations for adverse drug events.
Fragmented health systems and rapidly changing clinical guidelines complicate medication prescribing, especially for patients with multiple chronic illnesses and the elderly.
APS Healthcare can help reduce costs and improve outcomes related to prescribing practices and patient adherence through systematic identification of therapeutic duplication, omissions, and non-adherence as well as direct outreach and behavior change intervention. APS’ Medication Management solution identifies, assesses, and targets interventions to address provider prescribing patterns, patient safety and adherence issues.
