Non Adherence, treatment and Clinicaltrials Despite the often-devastating negative effects nonadherence to treatment can have on society and the many benefits of helping patients optimize their adherence behavior, the speed and efforts organizations are putting into improving adherence are lower than expected. Adherence to treatment is the process in which the patient engages in a health, technology, or medication-enabled treatment, which was discussed and agreed upon together with a healthcare professional. #healthcare #clinicaltrials #treatment

The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale is a validated assessment tool used to measure non-adherence in a variety of patient populations. It has been verified and substantiated by numerous studies on a global scale with over 110 versions and over 80 translations. The tool uses a series of short behavioral questions geared in such a way to avoid “yes-saying” bias commonly seen with chronic care patients. More specifically, the wording of the questions is rearranged to prevent answers that tend to follow certain behavioral patterns. This allows the patient to respond to questions about non-adherence in a spirit of full disclosure for the clinician. The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale, otherwise known as the Morisky Scale (MMAS-8), has proved to be a valuable resource to address adherence concerns, such as forgetting to take medications or discontinuing medications without guidance. If a patient scores higher on the scale, they are evaluated as more adherent. If they score lower on the scale, they are presumed to be struggling with nonadherence. By understanding how the patient scored on the scale, clinicians and health organizations can identify underlying issues that prevent patients from taking their medications correctly, if at all.
