RxEOB Releases Case Study on Using Health Care Messaging to Promote Medication Adherence
RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- RxEOB, an industry leader in member engagement applications for health benefits, has authored the case study, "How mobile messaging promotes medication adherence."
Available now at https://www.rxeob.com/public/resources/, the RxEOB case study highlights how medication non-adherence is far higher than most people realize. It can cause long term health issues and costs the already strained healthcare system between $100 and $289 billion a year.
According to the case study, "Research estimates that 20-30 percent of medication prescriptions are never filled and approximately 50 percent of medications for chronic disease are not taken as prescribed." It goes on to say that the reasons for non-compliance vary, "including cost, side effects, stigma, denial, health literacy and forgetfulness."
When communicating with patients in an effort to raise their level of prescription compliance, it is helpful for them to realize the value. Patients are sometimes choosing between ordering a refill versus the cost benefit to their health.
"In an evolving health care delivery system, the burden is now on payers and providers to communicate more effectively," said Robert S. Oscar, CEO of RxEOB. "Effective messaging is equipped to target non-compliant patients and communicate with them quickly and seamlessly. If we can help increase compliance, we can help patients and health plans will see ratings increases for them. We want to do our part to improve the quality of care and lower the cost of care for all involved."
