Impact of electronic prescribing on medication use in ambulatory care.
This study investigated differences before and after rollout of electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) in (1) patients’ primary adherence to newly prescribed medications, (2) patients' understanding of how to use their medications, and (3) multiple pharmacy use. It found an increase in abandoned prescriptions immediately following the implementation of e-prescribing. However, with time, these issues were resolved and even improved to rates lower than baseline.

Opportunities for sexual transmission of antiretroviral drug resistance among HIV-infected patients in care.
The researchers had two aims: to examine patterns of nonadherence, high-risk sexual behavior, detectable HIV viraemia and antiretroviral drug resistance, and to identify factors associated with potential transmission of drug-resistant HIV among patients engaged in HIV care. They found that a small but significant proportion of clinic patients with viraemia and documented resistant HIV continue to engage in sexual behaviors that place others at risk for transmitted drug resistance.

Conditional economic incentives to improve HIV treatment adherence: literature review and theoretical considerations.
This review summarizes various theories from micro- and behavioral-economics to social and clinical psychology that may help to understand how conditional economic incentives (CEI) work, and how they may be integrated with theories of health behavior that focus more on internal motivation. It concluded that appropriate CEI can help patients adhere to HIV treatment in the short-term, while incentives are in place.

Understanding patient portal use: implications for medication management.
The authors sought to (1) understand who uses an existing patient portal and reasons for use and nonuse, (2) understand how portal users are using a portal to manage their medications, and (3) explore participants' ideas for improving portal functionality for medication management and adherence support. They found that patients use portals to manage their medications, are enthusiastic about further leveraging portals to support medication management and adherence, and those who use a portal more frequently have better glycemic control.
