NEHI "On Call" Series: The First Fill Factor: Are We Ready to Tackle Primary Medication Non-Adherence?

Recent research has confirms that a disturbingly high number of patients fail to pick up newly-prescribed medications. These rates of failure to start new therapies represent a threat to patient, outcomes, and quality goals that are increasingly tied to new payment models. Development of new primary medication non-adherence metrics by the Pharmacy Quality Alliance are now sparking discussion among prescribers and in the pharmacy industry on practical ways to close the primary medication non-adherence gap.
