We often hear "doctor's orders" as a reminder to maintain healthy habits, but it's more than just a saying. Medical adherence involves following a doctor's tailored plan, which is crucial for managing chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. These conditions affect over 130 million Americans and are responsible for a significant portion of healthcare costs.

Medical adherence is vital for patients with chronic diseases, who need regular medical attention and consistent medication. However, many do not adhere fully due to reasons such as high out-of-pocket costs or lack of understanding about their condition and treatment.

AssuredPartners aims to assist employers in promoting better medical adherence among employees. This can lead to healthier workplaces and reduced healthcare costs. Non-adherence can result in failed treatments, worsened conditions, complications, and increased healthcare expenses.

Pharmacists now play an active role in disease management by providing education and monitoring medications. This trend enhances the pharmacist's role in healthcare. As pharmacy costs impact employer budgets, strategic communication about these issues becomes essential.

Encouraging adherence to medical advice is crucial for preventing complications and maintaining organizational health. Employers can help by ensuring employees understand their treatment plans' importance. AssuredPartners offers strategies to improve medical adherence within organizations.
