Rethinking Medication Adherence at Advocate

Tina Esposito, VP, Center for Health Information Services, Darcy Davis, Data Scientist, and Fran Wilk, Clinical Process Designer, Advocate Health Care.  With annual cost estimates as large as $300 billion, non-adherence to medications is an enormous opportunity in the Accountable Care era.  As a large ACO, Advocate Health Care is working to more effectively intervene in improving adherence.  Leveraging both clinical and claims data, clinicians are now equipped with more meaningful patient-specific adherence information at the point of care.  Further, data insights have yielded deeper understanding that supports refocused interventions to improve outcomes and cost.
