As presented at the CRA ASM 2016 Lake Louise, Alberta THE BURDEN OF CHRONIC DISEASE “…poor adherence increases with the duration and complexity of treatment regimens… duration and complex treatment are inherent to chronic illnesses.

What is the long-term safety and efficacy of a therapy? 2. How long will patients stay on the therapy (how durable is it)? 3. What kinds of patients are taking the therapy in realworld practice? 4. All of the above As presented at the CRA ASM 2016 Lake Louise, Alberta QUESTIONS NOT GENERALLY ANSWERABLE BY RCTS • What is the long-term safety and efficacy of a therapy? • In the real world, who is taking the therapy and how? • How does the therapy function in patients who were excluded from clinical trials (e.g., patients with comorbidities)? • In the absence of head-to-head trials, how do other treatment options compare? • How long will patients stay on the therapy (how durable is it)?

SETTING THE PATIENT UP FOR SUCCESS You’ve made a diagnosis, determined a treatment path and made your recommendation/prescription • Role now switches from expert to coach • The outcomes you are looking for are more related to patient adherence than to what you do • Adherence applies to medication adherence, physical activity, smoking cessation, etc. • It is not your job to change the patient • You can help the patient change within your scope of practice (time, training, interest) As presented at the CRA ASM 2016 Lake Louise, Alberta SIMPLE • • • • • • S — Simplify the regimen I — Impart knowledge M — Modify patient beliefs and behaviour P — Provide communication and trust L — Leave the bias E — Evaluate adherence American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM), 2011. http://www.acpm.org/?MedAdherTT_ClinRef As presented at the CRA ASM 2016 Lake Louise, Alberta S — SIMPLIFY THE REGIMEN • • • • • Adjust timing, frequency, amount and dosage Match regimen to patient’s activities of daily living Recommend taking all medications at the same time of day Investigate customized packaging for patients Encourage use of adherence aids ACPM, 2011. http://www.acpm.org/?MedAdherTT_ClinRef As presented at the CRA ASM 2016 Lake Louise, Alberta I — IMPART KNOWLEDGE • • • • • • Focus on patient-provider shared decisionmaking Keep the team informed (physicians, nurses and pharmacists) Involve patient’s family or caregiver if appropriate Provide all prescription instructions clearly in writing and verbally Suggest additional information from Internet if patients are interested Reinforce all discussions often, especially for low-literacy patients ACPM, 2011. http://www.acpm.org/?MedAdherTT_ClinRef As presented at the CRA ASM 2016 Lake Louise, Alberta M — MODIFY PATIENT BELIEFS AND BEHAVIOUR • Empower patients to self-manage their condition • Ensure that patients understand their risks if they don’t take their medications • Ask patients about the consequences of not taking their medications • Have patients restate the positive benefits of taking their medications • Address fears and concerns ACPM, 2011. http://www.acpm.org/?MedAdherTT_ClinRef As presented at the CRA ASM 2016 Lake Louise, Alberta P — PROVIDE COMMUNICATION AND TRUST • Practice active listening • Use plain language • Elicit patient’s input in treatment decisions ACPM, 2011. http://www.acpm.org/?MedAdherTT_ClinRef As presented at the CRA ASM 2016 Lake Louise, Alberta Do you want to take care of yourself? vs Why do you want to take care of yourself?

As presented at the CRA ASM 2016 Lake Louise, Alberta ELICIT POSITIVE, PERSONALLY RELEVANT REASONS FOR CHANGE The typical exchange: “It’s very important for you to lose weight, stop smoking, and control your symptoms with the medications. If not, you risk developing serious complications.” An alternative approach: “How important would you say it is for you to change your diet? Why are these changes important to you?” • Need to connect to person’s values, principles, identity As presented at the CRA ASM 2016 Lake Louise, Alberta L — LEAVE THE BIAS • Understand health literacy and how it affects outcomes • Examine self-efficacy regarding care of ethnic and low SES populations • Acknowledge biases in medical decision-making ACPM, 2011. http://www.acpm.org/?MedAdherTT_ClinRef; Bandura, A.
