A Portal-Based Intervention (PATTERN) Designed to Support Medication Use Among Older Adults: Feasibility and Acceptability Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Poor medication adherence among older adults with multiple chronic conditions and polypharmacy is a public health concern stemming from distinct challenges. Prior interventions have largely used a one-size-fits-all approach or resource-intensive approaches inappropriate for busy primary care clinics.

Objective

To address this, Phenotyping Adherence Through Technology-Enabled Reports and Navigation (PATTERN) was adapted from prior work.

This study sought to implement and evaluate PATTERN's feasibility and acceptability.

Methods

We conducted a patient randomized study with a posttest design. Primary care physicians at the par
