Pharmacists are in a unique position to help. They have the ability and knowledge to implement programs as part of their daily practice to ensure that patients are adherent to their medications. As the medication experts, pharmacists should lead the way to improving medication adherence and providing optimal patient care. The provisions of this bill do not pose a mandate but where appropriate would require the proration of prescriptions, related cost sharing, and dispensing costs in order to conform the patient to one monthly refill that occurs on the same date each month. This occurs only when the patient agrees to “opt in” as presented, if deemed beneficial, by the physician and the pharmacist. Therefore, necessitating only one visit to the pharmacy per month for the patient. In order to effectuate this process, patient copayments or cost sharing and current dispensing parameters need to be adjusted in order to protect both patients’ out of pocket costs and pharmacists who are providing the health care service in compliance with state and federal mandates despite the quantity being

    The targets for this goal are going to be very difficult to measure as climate change is constantly evolving and data will therefore never be specific. “Measuring resilience and adaptive capacity to climate hazards and natural disasters in all countries” is going to be more complex than just collecting the occurrences of these climatic events. Similarly, every government is capable of observing and collecting data on their progress when considering the implementation of measures in target 13.2 and of education programs and the organization of awareness campaigns in target 13.3. However, the difficulty of measuring these targets is that their assessment is based on subjectivity, except for their financial aspect.

    Adherence or compliance of medication can be defined as the extent in which the behavior of a person, which includes taking medications, following diet, or executing lifestyle changes coincides with the health or medical advice (1). Medical non-adherence then means the number of doses which were not taken or were taken incorrectly that prohibit or affect the therapeutic outcome of the patient. Medical nonadherence of the patient may increase or prolong the severity of an illness, leading to increased expenses needed to the patient and health care system, potential harm to the patient as well as unnecessary work on the part of practice during the visit (6). It may also lead to the assumption of the physician based on the poor response to the medication. The physician may assume that the medication was misdiagnosed.
