What must industry do to ensure its patient engagement efforts best support the move toward accountable care?

Medications play essential roles in accountable care, so it is critical that pharmaceutical companies increase efforts to engage patients throughout their journey from symptomatology to therapy adherence. Patients will encounter access hurdles. Supporting them in overcoming hurdles will improve outcomes and enable pharmaceutical companies to better engage with patients, raise satisfaction scores, and optimize medication use across populations.
