Medication synchronization (med sync) allows patients to synchronize their medications in order to receive them on the same day, on a monthly basis, instead of making multiple visits to the pharmacy.
It is estimated that 21 percent of Americans use three or more medications and 10 percent take five or more medications. A study by Harvard Medical School found that when medications were not synchronized, patients had adherence rates that were 8.4% lower than patients for which medications were synchronized.
Poor medication adherence contributes to worse health outcomes and higher healthcare costs to individuals and the health care system as a whole. Non-adherence to medications accounts for 33% to 69% of medication-related hospital admissions and approximately 125,000 deaths annually in the United States. Poor medication adherence costs the U.S. healthcare system $290 billion annually – 13% of total healthcare expenditures.
