Description

This review seeks to synthesize evidence regarding the efficacy and effectiveness of interventions to improve medication adherence among adults across a broad array of chronic conditions. This report is part of a larger initiative, the Closing the Quality Gap: Revisiting the State of the Science series. This series builds on the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) 2004-07 collection of publications, Closing the Quality Gap: A Critical Analysis of Quality Improvement Strategies, which summarized the evidence on quality improvement strategies for chronic conditions. This new series continues to summarize evidence on means to improve quality of care, but it focuses on selected settings, interventions, and clinical conditions. Our report addresses the comparative effectiveness of adherence intervention strategies, one keystone to improving the gap between potential and realized quality health care.
