When I am actually experiencing the need for medical care, my orientation shifts.

Today, medication non-adherence is one of the biggest drivers of poor medical outcomes and rising healthcare costs. While it may seem like a simple task to take medications as directed, an astounding 30 percent of prescriptions are never filled and 50 percent are not taken as prescribed. While every situation is unique, many patients cite common barriers to non-adherence like knowledge gaps, a lack of time, inability to refill prescriptions, negative side effects, and more.

In American health economics, there’s a demand side and a supply side. On the demand side, we’ve done a poor job trying to nudge patients and consumers toward rational economic decision making, lacking transparency, information symmetry, and basic health literacy. On the supply side, we’ve engaged in a medical arms race allocating capital resources to shinier and shinier new things, often without cost-benefit rationale or clinical evidence.
