Medication adherence plays an important role in the effective management of chronic conditions, yet nonadherence related to therapeutic complexity and numerous visits to the pharmacy is well documented in the literature. Medication Synchronization (Med Sync) programs work to overcome this barrier by standardizing medication refills for a less frequent, generally once monthly pickup. Features of Med Sync programs as well the impact on adherence will be discussed.
药物依从性在慢性病的有效管理中起着重要作用,但文献中已充分记载了与治疗复杂性和频繁前往药房相关的不依从情况。药物同步(Med Sync)项目致力于通过将药物续方标准化,以便患者减少取药频率,通常为每月一次,来克服这一障碍。本文将讨论Med Sync项目的特点及其对依从性的影响。
