Abstract:
Medication nonadherence after solid organ transplantation is recognized as an important impediment to long-term graft survival. Yet, assessment of adherence is often not part of routine care. In this Personal Viewpoint, we call for the transplant community to consider implementing a systematic process to screen and assess medication adherence. We believe acceptable tools are available to support integrating adherence assessments into the electronic health record. Creating a standard assessment can be done efficiently and cost-effectively if we come together as a community. More importantly, such monitoring can improve outcomes and strengthen provider-patient relationships. We further discuss the practical challenges and potential rebuttals to our position.
