Abstract
One in three adults in the United States are diagnosed with hypertension, a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke, which are two of the most common causes of death. Hypertension is often uncontrolled due to medication nonadherence related to forgetfulness. Technology, specifically the use of smart phones and their applications can aid in enhancing medication adherence through medication reminders and applications that track medication adherence. This quality improvement project evaluates the effectiveness of the smart phone application MyMedSchedule® Plus on enhancing medication adherence in hypertensive adults being treated in the outpatient setting. Data collection includes self-reported medication adherence through the use of the Morisky Green Levine Medication Adherence Questionnaire and self-reported medication adherence within the MyMedSchedule® Plus smart phone application. Findings from this quality improvement project did not hold high statistical significance, but conclude that MyMedSchedule® Plus is an effective self-reporting medication reminder and adherence tracking smart phone application that also has capabilities for patient, provider and pharmacist interaction that go beyond the limits of this study but are areas for future research.
