2013 Healthcare Benchmarks: Improving Medication Adherence

Dear Healthcare Executive,

The cost of medication non-adherence is great: in 2009, the New England Healthcare Institute (NEHI) blamed medication non-adherence for $290 billion in 'otherwise avoidable medical spending' in the United States alone each year.

Last year, the NEHI reported that a significant portion of hospital readmissions of Medicare patients — a metric closely examined by CMS and private payors — is caused by medication-related adverse events.

2013 Healthcare Benchmarks: Improving Medication Adherence provides actionable information from more than 100 healthcare organizations on efforts to improve medication adherence and compliance in their populations.
