Session # 235 |
Chairs: Wendy St. Peter, PharmD
Presenters: Leanne Peace, Teri Browne, LCSW, PhD, Karen Crampton, LCSW
Workshop description: There are numerous studies that have documented poor adherence to medications in chronic kidney disease (CKD), dialysis and transplant populations. Non-adherence in kidney transplant patients can lead to organ rejection, while non-adherence in CKD or dialysis patients may lead to increased morbidity and mortality. There are multiple barriers that can result in medication non-adherence and numerous strategies that have been utilized to improve medication adherence. This workshop is designed as an interdisciplinary, hands-on session to learn how to apply new technology tools and other strategies to improve oral medication self-management in CKD, dialysis and transplant patients.
