Abstract

Medication nonadherence is an important health consideration that affects the patient’s overall well-being and healthcare costs. This study conducts the literature review on medication adherence and presents the recent trends in measuring, predicting, and improving adherence for nonadherent patients using advanced analytical methods. A combination of advanced medication adherence metrics employing information technology capabilities and using analytical methods can help healthcare providers to discover future patterns, knowledge, and insights about the patient situation, at the same time enabling to shape a specific intervention to improve adherence to medication.
