Excerpt

Healthcare is becoming increasingly personalized. For instance, the US FDA attempts to incorporate patient preferences into regulatory decision making and is willing to approve treatments even if the benefit–risk profile is acceptable only to a segment of risk-tolerant patients [1]. Countries with extra-welfarist healthcare systems (relying on population preferences) now recognize that heterogeneity in individual preferences may be important conceptually in addressing issues such as child health, social care-related quality of life and carer well-being. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
