@lauffenburgerjc @adherence_ispe Yes! Claims and self-report would be really interesting to see compared with the blood draw results #adherencejc

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@lauffenburgerjc @adherence_ispe @danielankrah45 @lauffenburgerjc Yes, I think so --- and opportunity to inquire about unknown medication use - ex. opioids and benzodiazepines #adherencejc

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@adherence_ispe Yes I agree @lauffenburgerjc and I found the potential drug interactions findings interesting -- particularly when involving medications not in the EHR

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@lauffenburgerjc @adherence_ispe I'm also here! #adherencejc

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@adherence_ispe (I have to head out early, great #adherencejc everyone! Thanks @adherence_ispe )

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@lauffenburgerjc I also wonder at what point those with TRH who are adherent begin alternative interventions and discontinue medications #adherencejc

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@lauffenburgerjc @adherence_ispe Yes I agree, that was a great addition

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@lauffenburgerjc @adherence_ispe Yes I agree. Within prevalent users I do like the idea of starting at a blood pressure measurement given this may represent a point when adherence interventions could be implemented #adherencejc

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@adherence_ispe @SarahJoSinnott They did allow switching within and between drug classes... I’m sure calculating the pdc gets complicated quickly with multiple drugs within a class! #adherencejc

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@adherence_ispe @lauffenburgerjc @DurandHannah I wasn’t entirely clear why it was restricted to patients with high adherence during baseline #adherencejc

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@lauffenburgerjc @adherence_ispe Yes I agree! And very useful that they were able to use blood pressure measurements

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@adherence_ispe The multiple aspects included in the intervention along with providing useful subgroup results, which could help improve this intervention when used in other populations #adherencejc

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@lauffenburgerjc @adherence_ispe Yes table 2! The provided subgroup results were interesting

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@adherence_ispe One challenge may be the individuals willing/wanting to participate were more likely to be adherent and partake in other healthy behaviors #adherencejc

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@adherence_ispe I agree Julie! And while not statistically significant, there does seem to be a lot of potential with the intervention given cost reductions and 4% increase in mean PDC #adherencejc

[Greta Bushnell @GretaBushnell]

@adherence_ispe Here as well!
