Length of initial prescription at hospital discharge and long-term medication adherence for elderly, post-myocardial infarction patients: a population-based interrupted time series study

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Observational studies have demonstrated that post-MI patients receiving longer initial prescriptions have greater long-term adherence to cardiac medications. Providing longer prescriptions for post-MI patients at the time of discharge could address barriers to medication adherence including prescription refill burden and unintentional forgetfulness due to lack of habituation. The authors hypothesized that, in comparison to usual care (no intervention), implementation of the study interventions-which promote increased duration of initial discharge prescriptions-would result in a greater proportion of post-MI patients with longterm cardiac medication adherence over time. In the 12 . . .
