Caplan IVR
This intervention will consist of: proactive real-time adherence monitoring of patients and targeting of individuals only when they have exhibited non-adherence behavior (i.e., if patients have not refilled their medication more than 4 or 7 days after it was due to be refilled). The intervention will employ a tailored, escalating-intensity approach which begins with some combination of personalized short messaging service (SMS) text messages and interactive voice response (IVR) telephone technology, depending on patient preference. Patients failing SMS and then IVR by not refilling their medication (or declining SMS and failing IVR) escalate to a trained research interventionalist (typically, a clinical pharmacist). The interventionalist will contact the patient and address adherence barriers based on the dimensions outlined by the World Health Organization (WHO) that are specific to each patient.
