Increasing Medication Adherence through Physician Incentives and Messaging

"There are two treatments:~1. Physicians given financial incentives for improving patient medication adherence for all of the following medications: oral diabetes medication, hypertension (ACEI or ARB) medication, and cholesterol (statins) medication vs. one of the following medications: oral diabetes medication, hypertension (ACEI or ARB) medication, or cholesterol (statins) medication.~2. Physicians given communication emphasizing the importance of improving adherence to all of the previous medication classes vs. one one of the previous medication classes.~When physicians are sent a communication regarding the opportunity to receive an incentive as part of our pilot, they will also receive a single patient sheet for each patient who has less than 80% adherence. For half of the arms, the investigators will make the patient sheets a bright, non-white, color, in order to further draw the physicians' attention to that specific paper in their chart."
