Tackling Issues in Healthcare:

chronic disease

Chronic disease is in crisis and affects more people than you would expect - 15 million people suffer from chronic health issues in the UK, whilst in the US, 50% of Americans suffer from a chronic health problem, and one in 4 has a chronic illness. (Dr Richard Olds, Huffington Post 2018)

adherence

Patients do not use medicine correctly, with the World Health Organisation estimating that up to 50% of patients fall into this category.* The cost of non-adherence to health providers and Pharma companies is extensive, estimated at $100-300bn and $564bn per annum.(*https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3934668/)

Access to support

A 2016 report by Accenture, “Patient Services Pharma’s best kept Secret” stated that patients are excluded from services that would help and empower them and 81% of patients are unaware of services available to them

costs

The pharma industry loses $637 billion each year worldwide due to patients failing to take medication and therapies as doctors prescribe, according to a 2016 Capgemini study. Failure to address the adherence problem has eroded drug company margins in the past, but getting patients to form the right habits continues to be a huge problem for the pharma industry.

patient support programmes

The impact of patient support programs on adherence, clinical, humanistic, and economic patient outcomes: a targeted systematic review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4854257/ states that health coaching helps people gain and use the knowledge, skills, tools and confidence to become active participants in their care so that they can reach their self-identified health and well being goals.

This retrospective study demonstrates that participation in the Patient Support Program augments value-based care by improving outcomes for patients with chronic diseases by helping them not only manage a complex treatment regimen but also lower annual health care costs. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31081461

The impact of behavioural coaching on adherence

Behavioral coaching uses evidence-based clinical strategies and interventions to engage patients in behavior change to better self-manage their health. The ultimate goal is to improve health outcomes, lower risk, and decrease health care costs.

Eyeforpharma’s research revealed that twice as many pharma companies report successful adherence initiatives versus those that failed, with clinical coaching, pharmacy coaching and phone coaching leading the list of the most preferred and effective adherence support tools. Coaching programs consistently increased adherence 25 – 35%, on average.

Patient centered behavioural coaching is designed to help patients determine the way in which THEY believe they need to change their behaviours to achieve their goals.  https://www.mckesson.com/biopharma/behavioral-coaching/

Phone Coaching

Research shows that phone coaching for people with chronic conditions can improve health behavior, self-efficacy and health status. Planned telephone coaching sessions appear to be most effective for improving self-management skills in people from vulnerable groups:

In a recent study, behavioural coaching via phone support significantly increased patient medication compliance. Results demonstrated that patients who were coached were 25% more adherent to therapy vs. control during a nine-month study.

This 25% increase in medication adherence translated to an increased length of time on therapy of nearly 31 days (Symphony Health Analytics, 2016).
