Increasing Medication Adherence Through Physician Incentives and Messaging

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Medication Adherence

In brief

The goal of this project is to increase patient adherence to medication using communications and incentives for physicians. The investigators are partnering with a health insurance company, Humana Inc, to design and implement an incentives program for physicians whose patients increase their medication adherence for oral diabetes medication, hypertension (ACEI or ARB) medication, and/or cholesterol (statins) medication. The investigators will use behavioral economics to explore the best way to communicate the incentives to the physicians.
