Learn how Kaiser-Permanente Colorado works within the patient-centered medical home model to improve patient medication compliance during the January 6, 2010 webinar, "Medication Therapy Management in the Patient-Centered Medical Home."
December 9, 2009
MANASQUAN, NJ, USA —
Medication non-adherence is a bitter pill to swallow for the healthcare industry, accounting for more than $100 billion in costs and 40 percent of hospital admissions.
From free and discounted prescription drug costs to in-office medication reconciliation, medical home programs are working hard to ensure patient medication compliance. Kaiser-Permanente Colorado will describe the responsibilities of the physician, pharmacist, patient, health IT, financial incentives and reimbursement in its medication therapy management program during "Medication Therapy Management in the Patient-Centered Medical Home," a 45-minute webinar on January 6, 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.
"The total cost of medication non-compliance has been estimated at $100 billion, with more than half of chronically ill patients either stopping their medications at some point or not taking their medications as directed. Medication errors or misunderstandings are frequently the cause of rehospitalizations for Medicare beneficiaries and may negatively impact provider reimbursement tied to quality of care. As the control center for care coordination, the medical home is ideally positioned to address a patient's medication compliance level, especially when the pharmacist is a member of the medical home team."
