Abstract

The chapter on healthcare consequences of non-adherence initially presents the thematic of global prevalence and healthcare costs of uncontrolled hypertension, followed by the clinical consequences of non-adherence to antihypertensive drugs. Drug adherence is a complex phenomenon and may be influenced by many factors, one of which is the coexistence of other chronic diseases. Thus, a discussion exposing the relationship of drug adherence with the presence of associated morbidities is presented. Subsequently, an overview of the risk prediction and the population impact of implementing guidelines and interventions on drug adherence are depicted. The discussion is further followed by the technology advances and healthcare reform efforts creating an opportunities to reshape the current system where evidence generated from observational studies could contribute to better meet stakeholder needs. Several considerations of the clinical consequences of healthcare professional and system on drug adherence are introduced. Finally, the last section considers the clinical consequences of implementing patient-centered approaches and personalized evaluations of adherence to antihypertensive drugs, as well as the clinical consequences of changes to healthcare professional- and policy-related factors on adherence.
