Episode 006: Crossing the Finish Line: Factors Driving Patient Adherence to Drug Therapy
Show Notes

The patient standing at the pharmacy to fill a prescription represents the "final mile" that started in the laboratory. All the science and commercial investment comes down to this one decision point. Will the patient walk away? What will get them to stay?

In a survey of 200,000 retail prescriptions for the top 100 branded oral drugs, two inVentiv companies - Adheris Health and inVentiv Health Consulting - set out to understand the most influential factors to driving patient adherence or non-adherence.

Jeff Stewart sits down with Linda Morini, Senior Director, Analytic Services and Mike Occhipinti, Vice President, Analytics at Adheris Health, to discuss what they found.
