The Impact of Medication Synchronization on Proportion of Days Covered within the Pediatric Setting.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Poor adherence to medication regimens accounts for the substantial worsening of disease, death, and increased healthcare costs of approximately $100 billion annually in the United States. Patients participating in medication synchronization had 3.4 to 6.1 times increased odds of adherence, depending on the drug class. Abundant literature supports medication synchronization within the adult population. This IRB-exempt, prospective quality improvement project is an example of implementing and assessing medication synchronization inclusive of the pediatric setting.

Methods

This study is a single-center, prospective, quality improvement project for patients seen at Nationwide Children's Hospital (NCH) Complex Care Clinic that also fill prescriptions at NCH Outpatien
