Measuring the Success of Medication Adherence

Adherence is paramount in measuring the success of a new medication or therapy. With Senderra's pharmaceutical process, we are able to keep patients adherent to their medications.

Meet Shara Dela Cruz, Director of Pharmacy Operations for Senderra, the largest specialty pharmacy in the U.S.

Medication Adherence is Key

A key component of managing a chronic health condition is through medication management and specialty pharmacies, like Senderra, play an integral role. Specialty pharmacies not only improve patient outcomes, but they also minimize the lack of adherence to medications.

Complex regimens, like infiltrative basal cell carcinoma, pose a higher risk of non-adherence, so having easy access to tools that make medication administration easier lowers costs and boosts patient outcomes. By having regular contact with patients, including tasks like refill reminders, specialty pharmacies ensure the patient's adherence to their medications so they can achieve the best results.

How Senderra Helps Patients Adhere to Their Medications

We have pharmacists available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help. If a patient is having a side effect on medication, all they need to do is call Senderra. Often times, the solutions are simple.

For example, some medications cause nausea if taken without food - easy solution! We recommend eating a snack with your morning medication. Other times, a patient may be skipping doses of medication which can also have an effect on them. In this case, a pharmacist would schedule a consult with the patient to find out more information.

At Senderra, our pharmaceutical process includes following up and checking in regularly with patients to keep them adherent.

How Senderra Benefits Pharmaceutical Manufacturers with Medication Adherence

Working with a specialty pharmacy who has an extensive data collection and great reporting capabilities, like accessing real time patient data, can benefit pharmaceutical manufacturers because of their ability to monitor patient responses to medication treatments.

Data is captured through documentation platforms, like our Physician Portal, CarePath, and patient management systems. From referral to discharge, capturing additional information about the patient and their experience offers significant value.
