The AAFP has joined a broad-based coalition that wants to improve patient care and save billions in health care costs by implementing strategies to improve the nation's medication adherence rates. Known as Prescriptions for a Healthy America, the coalition is made up of 30 organizations that represent a broad range of stakeholders, including physicians, pharmacists, health care industry leaders and consumers, among others. Coalition members held a press conference on Capitol Hill on May 2 to announce the launch of the initiative and to identify ways of improving medication adherence rates in the United States.
