Understanding Medication Compliance and Persistence from an Economics Perspective Rachel A. Elliott, BPharm, MRPharmS, PhD,1 Judith A.

Explanations have been attempted from epidemiological, sociological, and psycho- logical perspectives. Economic models (utility maximization, time preferences, health capital, bilateral bargaining, stated preference, and prospect theory) may contribute to the under- standing of medication-taking behavior. Methods: Economic models are applied to medication non- compliance. Traditional consumer choice models under a budget constraint do apply to medication-taking behavior in that increased prices cause decreased utilization. Neverthe- less, empiric evidence suggests that budget constraints are not the only factor affecting consumer choice around medicines. Examination of time preference models suggests that the retical relevance, but has not been applied to compliance. Bilateral bargaining may present an alternative model to concordance of the patient–prescriber relationship, taking account of game-playing by either party. Nevertheless, there is limited empiric evidence to test its usefulness. Stated pref- erence methods have been applied most extensively to medi- cines use. Results: Evidence suggests that patients’ preferences are con- sistently affected by side effects, and that preferences change over time, with age and experience. Prospect theory attempts to explain how new information changes risk perceptions and associated behavior but has not been applied empirically to medication use. Conclusions: Economic models of behavior may contribute to the understanding of medication use, but more empiric work is needed to assess their applicability.

This article stems from the International Society of Pharmacoeconom- ics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) efforts to develop a check- list of items that should be either included, or at least considered, when a retrospective database analysis of medication compliance or persistence is undertaken. This consensus document outlines a systematic approach to designing or reviewing retrospective database studies of medication C&P. Included in this article are discussions on data sources, measures of C&P, results reporting, and even conflict of interests. If followed, this checklist should improve the consistency and quality of C&P analyses, which in turn will help providers and payers understand the impact of C&P on health outcomes.

Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) as a Preferred Method of Measuring Medication Adherence By: David P. Nau, RPh, PhD, CPHQ Senior Director, Research & Performance Measurement Pharmacy Quality Alliance Source: http://www.pqaalliance.org/files/PDCvsMPRfinal.pdf Background The Pharmacy Quality Alliance (PQA) has developed, tested and endorsed numerous measures of medication-use quality. PQA members identified medication adherence as an important component of medication-use quality, and therefore PQA sought to endorse a standard method for calculation of medication adherence using data that would be widely available across prescription drug plans and pharmacies. After reviewing the extant literature and conducting tests of draft measure specifications, PQA chose to endorse the method known as Proportion of Days Covered (PDC).

Paper 043-2007 Using Arrays to Calculate Medication Utilization R. Scott Leslie, MedImpact Healthcare Systems, Inc., San Diego, CA ABSTRACT Assessing duration of medication therapy involves managing a data set with multiple observations per subject. This paper offers an innovative approach to calculating medication utilization as the proportion of days supplied over a specified time period. In this paper, the TRANSPOSE procedure, ARRAY statements, and DO loops are used to create multiple indicator variables, which are then used to calculate medication utilization. Variations of this code can integrate gaps and overlaps in therapy and can be used in calculating concomitant medication utilization. INTRODUCTION Many health outcomes related to pharmacy utilization involve length of therapy measurements. The purpose of this paper is to offer code that calculates a patient’s medication utilization as the proportion of days medication is supplied over a time period. This code is a helpful start for building code to calculate additional outcome measures such as compliance, adherence, and persistence. EXAMPLE 1: PROPORTION OF DAYS MEDICATION SUPPLIED This example uses a pharmacy claims data set that has multiple observations per patient. The steps below calculate the number of days a single drug is supplied over a 180-day study period, with the date of first claim as the first day of study period. A cut of the data set shows 3 claims for a patient.

Assessing Medication Adherence Using Stata Ariel Linden Linden Consulting Group, LLC San Francisco, CA, USA alinden@lindenconsulting.org Abstract. In this article I introduce the medadhere package, which computes medication adherence rates for two commonly-used measures in research and practice -- the medication possession ratio (MPR) and proportion of days covered (PDC). medadhere computes adherence rates for a single medication or multiple medications, and its options provide great flexibility to support the specific needs of the user. Keywords: medication adherence, medication compliance, medication possession ratio, proportion of days covered, pharmacy claims 1 Introduction While most patients leave the doctor’s office with a medication prescription, many fail to take their medication as prescribed. According to the World Health Organization, medication adherence (also referred to as compliance) rates in developed countries average only about 50 percent (Sabaté The Stata Journal.
