Pharmacist Interventions for Medication Adherence: Community Guide Economic Reviews for Cardiovascular Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Adherence to medications for cardiovascular disease and its risk factors is less than optimal, although greater adherence to medication has been shown to reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This paper examines the economics of tailored pharmacy interventions to improve medication adherence for cardiovascular disease prevention and management.

Methods

Literature from inception of databases to May 2019 was searched, yielding 29 studies for cardiovascular disease prevention and 9 studies for cardiovascular disease management. Analyses were done from June 2019 through May 2020. All monetary values are in 2019 U.S. dollars.

Results

The median intervention cost per patient per year was $246 for cardiovascular disease prevention and $292 for card
