Estimating medication adherence from Electronic Health Records: comparing methods for mining and processing asthma treatment prescriptions

Abstract: Background Medication adherence is usually defined as the extent of the agreement between the medication regimen agreed to by patients with their healthcare provider and the real-world implementation. Proactive identification of those with poor adherence may be useful to identify those with poor disease control and offers the opportunity for ameliorative action. Adherence can be estimated from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) by comparing medication dispensing records to the prescribed regimen.… Show more

“…[28][29][30] Quantitative methods to determine adherence levels are data-driven approaches that use numerical values to assess and measure a patient's adherence to a prescribed medication regimen. 29,31 Estimating medication adherence through data calculations from the electronic prescriptions database, using metrics like Medication Possession Ratio (MPR) and Proportion of Days Covered (PDC), is extremely important. 32,33 The MPR is calculated by dividing the days' supply of medication dispensed during the treatment period by the total number of days in that period.…”
