[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] Promoting Adherence to Improve Effectiveness of Cardiovascular Disease Therapies [Institution] KAISER FOUNDATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE [Amount] $0 [Summary] The primary goal of the PATIENT study is to increase both initial use and ongoing adherence to three classes of medications used to treat diabetes or cardiovascular disease. The PATIENT interventions use interactive voice recognition, with and without supplemental personalized mailings to patients and messages to providers, to deliver medication refill reminders, educate members about their conditions, and connect members with pharmacists and their doctors. If PATIENT's methods are successful, this research should lead to reduced hospitalizations and deaths, and to increased quality of life for people with diabetes or cardiovascular disease. This research should also be broadly applicable to other diseases and treatments. [Completion/ Closing Date] 09/03/2010 [Link] link [Category]
