“Who Cares About Adherence?”

What’s the use of being perfectly adherent to a poor medication regimen? Before measuring adherence, it should first be confirmed that a patient is taking the right medications, at the right dose, at the right time. Factors like family genetics and drug interactions can affect the way a patient responds to their medications, and evaluating these factors is a valuable service that pharmacists can provide to their patients. Dr. Calvin Knowlton joins us to explain his mission behind MedWise and why this medication safety tool can help pharmacists use the skills they learned in school to save lives and improve their patients’ quality of life.
