A CMM pilot program
at the University of
Southern California slashed
hospitalization rates and
costs associated with them.
Lastly, offi cials could
start tracking patients’
adherence statistics, in
order to better identify
at-risk populations and
gauge the effectiveness
of future healthcare
interventions. Most states
don’t yet collect such data
— which is why Oregon
should take the lead on
this critical health reform.
After all, Oregonians pride
themselves on being ahead
of the curve.
Far too many
deaths, surgeries, and
hospitalizations result
from patients’ failure to
take medicines as directed.
Giving doctors and
pharmacists a few simple
tools to educate patients
would drastically reduce
non-adherence, improve
outcomes and save money
for Oregon.

artist in residence last summer,
