MANASQUAN, NJ, USA — As patients take on greater financial and self-care responsibility in the healthcare system, all members of the care team, including providers (doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists) and payors, need to work together to provide the support patients need to assume this responsibility. An industry expert from Silverlink Communications, Inc., will share practical examples on how the care team can work together to support patients in adhering to care plans, including a model of care that includes the pharmacist on the care team and another that incorporates technology, during "Achieving Medication and Care Plan Adherence Through an Integrated Care Team," a 45-minute webinar on March 17, 2010 at 1:30 Eastern sponsored by the Healthcare Intelligence Network.

QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:

Click here for Melanie Matthews's profile.

"According to Intelecare, there are 125,000 deaths annually as a result of medication non-adherence as well as increases in healthcare costs and hospital visits. Integrating care teams to help patients adhere to their care can successfully decrease these numbers and improve healthcare quality. During a time when increases in readmissions and high care costs are on everyone's minds, organizations and patients will benefit from this innovative and integrated care team approach."
