Doctors' Precautions Help Prevent Older Adults from Adverse Drug Events
The authors described non-adherence as a complex phenomenon determined by a variety of issues, including physician-patient communication, cognitive decline, and the cost of medication.
According to them, though most interventions focus on education or on cognitive aids, the combination is more promising.
In certain cases, cost is a factor that will not be mentioned unless the physician inquires.
Simply asking whether a patient plans to use his or her prescription may open a dialogue about the costs of a patients prescriptions. Sometimes there are alternatives, including prescriptions for generic substitutes or identifying a combination drug that may be less expensive than two individual drugs, says Dr. Robert Dickman, one of the authors.
