Patient Assistance = Patient Adherence
Patient adherence to medications is a complex and multifaceted problem. Because there is no single reason for non-adherence, there is no "one size fits all" approach to improving adherence. AXA Assistance USA provides a comprehensive approach to addressing issues relating to each therapy adherence. Our guidelines focus on two key areas required for adherence –motivation and knowledge.
The ultimate goal of AXA Assistance USA is to create an environment of structured interaction based on patient-specific needs. This approach results in a high degree of knowledge and patient self-motivation to take medication appropriately.
Brands that have partnered with AXA Assistance USA have improved drug adherence by over 30 percent across most therapy areas.
