Services | Adheris, Inc.


	An educated patient is an adherent patient. Once a doctor prescribes a medication, patients and their caregivers become responsible for adhering to that therapy. Adheris’ patient education and reminder programs not only reinforce the physician-patient relationship, but also educate patients about their condition and the role their medicine plays in improving their health. Self-management and empowerment Patients who understand why they are on a therapy and what to expect tend to be adherent patients.		Adheris’ programs are designed to educate and empower patients. Adheris’ direct-to-patient programs have shown that patients are more likely to stay on therapy when they understand: Why medication has been prescribed for them How the medication should be taken How long they should remain on therapy What to expect (i.e., side effects, onset of action, etc.) while they are on therapy
		Adheris designs and develops information programs tailored to the needs of patients who have been prescribed medication in virtually every therapeutic class. These programs can be implemented in various forms, including letters, e-mail messages, newsletters, brochures, and phone calls.
		Adheris provides literature so that patients are more informed about their condition and the medication used to treat it, promoting proactive behavior in self-education and self-management of the disease.
		Our communications also emphasize the importance of following the doctor’s instructions and keeping follow-up visits. The literature provides specific reminders about taking medication and obtaining refills as prescribed. Our programs also encourage patients on long-term therapy to obtain new prescriptions, as appropriate. Adheris’ interventions are timed to coincide with actual patient behavior to provide the most effective and timely reinforcement.
