Many older adults experience some degree of cognitive impairment, an important risk factor for medication nonadherence. To prevent negative health outcomes secondary to medication nonadherence, identifying interventions that improve medication adherence for older adults with cognitive impairment is crucial. Other barriers to medication adherence include the structure of the health care system as well as socioeconomic and therapyrelated obstacles. The use of pharmacist-led and population-level interventions hold promise for providing optimal medication adherence for older adults with cognitive impairment.
