  • right therapy, patient consumption of medication correctly

    What are the two elements that effective treatment depend on?

  • medication compliance

    -the extent to which a person's medication-taking behavior coincides with medical or health advice

  • patient self report, administrative claims data

    What are indirect measures of medication utilization?

  • Morisky medication adherence scale

    -an example of patient self report that is displayed as a scale to measure the adherence level of a patient.

  • anniversary method, minimum refills method, threshold method

    What are dichotomous measures of administrative claims data?

  • refill-sequence method

    What are continuous measures of administrative claims data?

  • anniversary method

    -Defines adherence as refilling medication within a specific interval in the 1 year anniversary of the initial filling of a prescription

  • minimum refills method

    -refills claimed exceeds a prior number

  • threshold method

    -counts number of days the patient had medication available

  • refill-sequence method

    -Measured in days and represents the length of time between the initiation of therapy and appearance of gap between fills

  • a

    Which analysis measures compliance/adherence with receiving treatment when it is assumed the patient should be treated?

    a) MPR

    b) PDC

  • b

    Which analysis measures compliance/adherence while on treatment, producing a more accurate measure of what is normally considered compliance?

    a) MPR

    b) PDC

  • directly observed therapy, biological fluids

    What are direct measures of medication utilization?

  • index date

    -the date of first fill of the medication

  • PDC's denominator= number of days from first fill to the end of observation period

    Explain the Proportion of Days Covered (PDC).

  • PDC

    Which gives us a more accurate measurement of adherence PDC or MDR?

  • days supply/ days in evaluation period

    What is the formula for MDR & PDC?
