De hoge prijs van lage therapietrouw bij medicijngebruik

When patients don’t take their medicines as directed, the consequences can include worsening health and added medical expenses. Yet researchers have found that more than half of the patients in many disease states are not adherent to their medication therapies.
In the US, the estimated direct and indirect costs of nonadherence totalled $337 billion in 2013. With total healthcare spending in the United States averaging $9,255 per person in 2013, about one dollar of every nine spent was wasted because patients didn’t take their medicines as directed. Express Scripts has released a white paper exploring the direct and indirect costs of medication nonadherence (Express Scripts, 21 juli 2015).
