Synchronization to Improve Non-Adherence to Cardiovascular Medications (SyNCMed)
Synchronization to Improve Non-Adherence to Cardiovascular Medications (SyNCMed)
The aim of this study is to evaluate if synchronizing when patients with diabetes and/or coronary artery disease fill their prescriptions improves long-term adherence to these medications.
We will enroll patients 18 years of age and older who within 6 months of study enrollment have filled ≥ 2 medications intended for long-term use (i.e. maintenance medications) by mail order at CVS Caremark. At least 1 of these 2 medications of must be for the treatment of diabetes or cardiovascular disease. In addition, these medications must be delivered on two or more unique delivery dates, there must be at least one refill remaining for all eligible medications and either all or none of their prescriptions must be enrolled in the ReadyFill@Mail program (see Intervention Description for details).
