Abstract
Heart failure remains among the most prevalent and burdensome medical conditions in the United States. With increasing awareness regarding resource use and costs of care, there has been significant interest in the identification of factors that influence rates of hospitalization and readmission in individuals with heart failure. Medication adherence has been identified as one such modifiable factor. Many barriers to medication adherence have been identified and include factors related to the patient, those related to their medical condition, their medical regimen, the healthcare system and others that are social and socioeconomic in nature. Identification of these barriers has led to novel interventions for improving medication adherence with the goal of improving the care of individuals with heart failure.Entities:
