On this website, you will find nearly fifty scientific studies that focus on improved medication use and patient compliance, through varied intervention strategies – implementing disease management approaches, educating patients and providers, and monitoring and providing feedback about target populations. The Tools and Techniques of Improved Medication Use initiative seeks to translate research findings into practice by presenting detailed descriptions of intervention strategies, resources and results that can be replicated in multiple settings. Studies are categorized by medical condition and intervention strategy. Abstracts, key data findings and resource materials are provided when available.

The Tools and Techniques of Improved Medication Use project was supported in part by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality grant HS10391 to The HMO Research Network Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics (CERT ). CERTs is a research program administered by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), in consultation with the Food and Drug Administration, agencies within the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The mission of the CERTs is to conduct research and provide education that will advance the optimal use of drugs, medical devices, and biological products. The American Association of Health Plans, now America's Health Insurance Plans, provided a grant to develop this website. |
