If a patient takes a medication as prescribed, the patient is considered adherent. If they do not always follow the prescribed dose, timing, or frequency, they are non-adherent to some degree. Non-adherence can also show up in different patterns, which are described below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/3d2bd927-9f6e-4773-9dd3-eb48b53ad4d5/AdobeStock_327067166-LR.jpg Introduction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/b4934b47-34d1-4e63-9626-44731488efbe/AdobeStock_303304617.jpeg Introduction - MPR (Medication Possession Ratio) The total days’ supply obtained over a defined period divided by the number of days in that period. A value of ≥0.8 (80%) is commonly used as the threshold for “adherent.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/334766a4-7859-42d3-8156-5003478090dd/MA.jpg Introduction - PDC (Proportion of Days Covered) The number of days in which the patient had medication available, divided by the number of days in the period. PDC is generally preferred when patients take multiple therapies for the same condition because it avoids the inflated estimates that can occur with early refills. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/e1d40f78-e61e-4814-902f-23628fbc9fe5/IntroductionPage_NoSingleMethod.png Introduction Indirect methods are more feasible but rely on proxies (fills, openings, self-report). Some methods capture whether medication was obtained; others capture when it was taken; few capture why doses were missed. https://adherence-studies.joneshealthcaregroup.com/the-problem daily 0.75 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/595da4fc-918e-4374-9b48-3f2c6e425db4/Diabetes_TheProblemPage.png The Problem - Diabetes Non-adherence is associated with higher HbA1c, higher blood pressure, higher LDL cholesterol, increased hospitalization, and increased mortality [2]. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/bd0f6ee8-cfc1-4a66-bc5d-f11abdb08032/Cardio_Disease_TheProblemPage.png The Problem - Cardiovascular disease Non-adherence is linked to worse blood pressure control, more cardiac events, and accelerated disease progression [9]. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/a1f7dd1a-aca1-4375-8d42-c7e4d90e2a31/Chronic_Complications-TheProblemPage.png The Problem - General chronic disease Non-adherent patients experience higher emergency department use, more frequent inpatient stays, and earlier disease complications [10, 11]. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/9ed3f085-0f87-44e3-9f28-b6a01ee0b024/Non-Adherence-2.png The Problem - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/737fdbcb-37b7-4b3f-8dc1-61b14a15f0ef/Improving_Adherence.jpg The Problem Better disease control Fewer complications Reduced hospitalizations Lower overall system costs https://adherence-studies.joneshealthcaregroup.com/the-pharmacists-role daily 0.75 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/3afbd5f9-55bf-4a82-af2b-21f9736ac075/AdobeStock_266557688.jpeg The Pharmacist's Role - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/130e7451-4040-4939-bc09-31d4dc43cf15/ThePharmacistsRole-Section.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/a9c4713f-2134-4e6d-9590-0aaf7aaa9184/AdobeStock_255759509.jpg The Pharmacist's Role - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://adherence-studies.joneshealthcaregroup.com/summary daily 0.75 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/18c360d0-0697-4eb4-9a34-4847d08bb2dc/Summary_BlisterPackaging.png Summary - Impact varies by population, but blister packaging reliably outperforms vial dispensing and simple pill organizers—particularly when professionally prepared, calendarized, or paired with pharmacist follow-up [14,19,22]. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626fcd617884513d93522dbb/2f31f6c7-685d-4000-b112-74fc42abe654/FlexRx%26Qube-Group-Summary.jpg Summary - Eco-Friendly, Patient-Centred Blister Packaging Jones’ adherence packaging solutions are designed around patient safety, pharmacy workflow, and sustainability: Recyclable card stock and bio-based recyclable plastics – formats are developed using a recyclable-first design philosophy aligned with evolving sustainability expectations in healthcare systems.
