Authorized doctors, nurses, caregivers, family, friends, neighbors and others in the circle of care have remote access to daily compliance reports delivering critical information instantly on such personal care issues like whether your patient followed their doctors instructions during prescribed time slots.

Very often patients simply do not understand their medical regimes.

“Medication adherence is the No. 1 problem in treating illness today,” said Dr. Monica Skomo, Duquesne University assistant professor of pharmacy practice. “Nearly 25 percent of all nursing home admissions and 10 percent of hospital admissions are the result of patients failing to take prescription medications correctly. What’s more, approximately 125,000 American with treatable disorders die each year because of medication non-adherence.” The top three reasons cited for medication non-adherence included adverse effects, not feeling the medication helped and poor communication with one’s doctor – June 6, 2008.

Poor medication adherence has reached crisis proportions, leading to unnecessary disease progression and complications, reduced functioning, a lower quality of life and even death, according to a report by the National Council on Patient Information and Education (NCPIE). The NCPIE report cited that only about 50 percent of Americans typically take their medicines as prescribed. Factors that contribute to medication non-compliance include the cost of prescriptions, the impact of side effects, managing complex medication regimens and forgetfulness – August 29, 2008.

The intersection where intervention and health care meet for improved compliance.

Physicians and nurses are increasingly pressured to see more patients for fewer dollars. They have less time to educate and follow-up with patients. ComplyRx fills the gap at every level—patient, family, caregiver and physician—with automated medical reminders and healthcare information that actually improve medical outcomes.

ComplyRx writes customized, automated, secure, interactive IVR, SMS & Email patient compliance programs for hospitals, doctors, nurses, and patients/caregivers. Simultaneously, medical outcomes improve as patient/caregiver understanding of ongoing treatment plans, hospital discharge instructions, and medical protocols improve.
