Pdf Summary

The document discusses the problem of medication adherence barriers faced by patients, including poor understanding of medication, dosing schedule, side effects, and costs. It highlights that medication non-adherence affects a significant percentage of patients with chronic conditions. The CEO of A-S Medication Solutions, Matthew Hoff, proposes a simple solution called Point of Care Dispensing to address these issues. This method aims to increase adherence, improve patient outcomes, save time and money, and enhance patient trust and education. According to a survey, 78% of patients prefer to receive their medications from their doctor's office rather than going to a pharmacy. Point of Care Dispensing is positioned to add value in terms of adherence, engagement, efficiency, and results in various orthopedic settings such as pre and post-operative care, acute and chronic treatments, worker's compensation, and formulary control. By implementing this solution, patients can focus on healing without the stress of accessing medications after their visits or surgeries, ultimately improving their overall experience and health outcomes.
