Everyone involved in the process should play their part, and pharmacy staff are ideally placed to tackle non-adherence. They are not only experts on medicines but among the most accessible and most consulted health professionals.
Various factors contribute to poor patient adherence, including the challenges of managing a long-term condition, intolerable side-effects, the impact of adverse media coverage, the cost of treatment, asymptomatic conditions, and cutting treatment short as soon as the patient feels better.
BIOAXIS Healthcare has developed programmes that help pharmacists and other health professionals to understand patient behaviour, so that in turn they can improve medication adherence, improve patient care and health, and reduce the likelihood of costly hospital treatment.
All solutions comply with BIOAXIS Healthcare's PCP protocol.
