Abstract
Not remembering to refill medications was the most commonly reported problem. Patient encounters averaged 4 to 6 minutes for the first visit and 12 to 13 minutes over 12 months. Phone calls by pharmacists to adults who were late for oral diabetes medication refills were effective in identifying adherence-related problems and developing support strategies to promote medication self-management in busy urban community chain pharmacy settings.
