Abstract
This study descriptively coded community pharmacist notes related to medication nonadherence. Most notes were prompted by automatic calculations by the documentation software of the proportion of days covered. This prompted regular conversations about non-adherence issues and clarifications on how medications are being used at home. Documentation suggested most adherence problems were technical in nature rather than stemming from patient factors like medication beliefs. Pharmacists could be more intentional and descriptive when documenting nonadherence issues so that more targeted follow up can be made, including a greater investigation of medication beliefs.
