Strategies for addressing the cost of nonadherence in diabetes.
American Journal of Managed Care 2017 August
Diabetes accounts for the second largest amount of avoidable healthcare costs in the United States-an estimated $24.6 billion in wasteful and avoidable spending. Diabetes is a lifelong disease that is highly dependent on patient self-management. Unfortunately, studies demonstrate that almost 50% of patients with diabetes fail to reach the glycemic goal of glycated hemoglobin <7%. Patient nonadherence poses a significant barrier to effective management of diabetes and can place a significant burden on the patient and the healthcare system, resulting in even greater increases in costs, morbidity, and mortality. Therefore, effective treatment and long-term management of diabetes requires a patient-centered collaborative model of care with an understanding of the factors associated with nonadherence. This may help develop patient-, provider-, and system-focused strategies to help increase the rates of medication adherence, reduce complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes, and lower the overall cost of management.
