Medication Adherence Program: Advanced Analytics. Pharmacological Know-How. Improved Results.

Medication non-adherence costs the U.S. healthcare system an estimated $300 billion annually, with roughly 50% of prescriptions not taken as prescribed. PharmD Live combines advanced pharmacological expertise with AI-driven technology to reverse these trends.

Identifying and Overcoming Barriers to Medication Adherence

Barriers to medication adherence are multifactorial and deeply individualized. According to the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), patients who fail to adhere typically exhibit several risk behaviors — from failing to fill or refill prescriptions, to missing doses, to stopping medication prematurely. Providers must address root causes including Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) such as health literacy, transportation access, and financial constraints.
