In a study of 10 employers with a total of 51,648 employee respondents, researchers found that health-related productivity losses were estimated to be 2.3 times higher than direct healthcare costs.<sup>8<\/sup><\/li><li>And while recently a great deal of public attention has focused on the rising prices of medications in the US, one study estimated the annual cost of prescription drug-related morbidity and mortality resulting from non-optimized medication therapy, including medication non-adherence, to be $528.4 billion in 2016 US dollars, with a plausible range of $495.3 billion to $672.7 billion.<sup>9<\/sup><\/li><\/ul><blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #009ce2;\"><strong>\u201cDrugs don\u2019t work in patients who don\u2019t take them\u201d,<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #666666;\">said C.

have acknowledged challenges with identifying and measuring the patient behaviors that drive primary non-adherence.<sup>5<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p><h5><strong><span style=\"color: #009ce2;\">Dr. Ken Rosenblum, who founded InstyMeds, approached non-adherence from the patient&#8217;s perspective.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/h5><p>As an Emergency Room physician he had an insider&#8217;s understanding of some obvious but overlooked causes of non-adherence.\u00a0 He saw that sending patients on a quest for medications, regardless of their physical or mental state and mobility challenges, resulted in suboptimal filling of prescriptions.\u00a0<\/p><h5><strong><span style=\"color: #009ce2;\">Dr. Rosenblum realized that in our healthcare system prescribing medications to patients also meant giving them a job to do.<\/span><\/strong><\/h5><p>Their job \u2013 never mentioned because it\u2019s universally implied \u2013 is to get to a pharmacy and wait for their prescriptions to be filled before they can start their medications.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a job whose critical importance in the recovery process is taken for granted due to its seemingly trivial nature.\u00a0 Yet, for patients who are sick, tired, in pain or those caring for sick children and dependents, it&#8217;s the last thing they want to be

patient jobs by allowing patients to pick up prescriptions at the point of care.\u00a0 A patient can get all her medications quickly from an InstyMeds dispenser right after leaving her

are filled, significantly exceeding the industry average of 70%.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h5><p>Practice shows that when more patients fill their medications, outcomes improve.\u00a0 This was
