Fierce Healthcare: Podnosis podcast – Medication nonadherence remains one of the most entrenched challenges in healthcare. Despite decades of awareness and interventions, half of patients with chronic conditions still don’t take their medications as prescribed—leading to unnecessary hospitalizations, preventable deaths and billions in avoidable costs.
In this episode of Podnosis, Dr. Chandra Y. Osborn, Chief Experience Officer at AdhereHealth, sits down with Fierce Healthcare’s Anastassia Gliadkovskaya to discuss:
- Why medication adherence is critical for patient outcomes, quality measures and cost savings
- How behavioral science-based techniques and predictive analytics uncover the “why” behind nonadherence
- The importance of dynamic solutions and human connections in addressing behavioral and SDOH barriers to adherence
- The value of omnichannel communications in effective engagement
- The continued importance of adherence, despite changes from CMS
