Continuity of medication management among adults with schizophrenia and comorbid cardiometabolic conditions.
This study examined whether medication adherence, inpatient admissions, and emergency department (ED) visits vary by the number and types of prescribers seen by adults with schizophrenia and cardiometabolic conditions. Greater antipsychotic adherence for adults receiving prescriptions from multiple psychiatric specialists was counteracted by lower statin adherence and greater risk of ED and inpatient utilization.

Do medical homes increase medication adherence for persons with multiple chronic conditions?
The goal of this study was to assess the association between medical homes and adherence to newly initiated medications among Medicaid enrollees with multiple chronic conditions (MCC). The researchers examined data from North Carolina Medicaid enrollees with MCC and found that adherence to new medications is greater for those enrolled in medical homes.

Patient-centered priorities for improving medication management and adherence.
The goal of the workshop was to identify and prioritize opportunities to advance PCMM by convening diverse stakeholders involved in prescribing and/or medication taking. A major conclusion was that engaging multiple stakeholders in setting a patient-centered research agenda and broadening the scope of adherence interventions to include other aspects of medication management resulted in priorities outside the traditional scope of adherence research.
