Measure
Usual Care
All Physicians are given limited training in how to intervene on poor adherence, but no patient adherence information is provided to these clinicians via electronic prescribing software when they see patients assigned to this arm
Adherence Information
Adherence information: Physicians, of the patients randomized to this arm, will have medication adherence information displayed when using the electronic prescribing system.
Adherence Information Plus Motivational Interviewing
Adherence information plus motivational interviewing: Physicians, of the patients randomized to this arm, will have medication adherence information displayed when using the electronic prescribing system. Moreover, patients randomized to this arm will be recruited into a clinic run by pharmacists and nurses with delegated prescription power. The clinic personnel will use motivational interviewing techniques with patients to improve adherence to medications and/or to intensify medical treatment if adherence is optimal.

Timeframe: at 6 months post randomization

Adherence is the estimated proportion of the prescribed dose taken over a 3-month period. Therefore, each estimate of medication adherence represented a 3-month window of use prior to and including the endpoint time (e.g., the adherence estimate at "6 months post randomization" represented use beginning at 3 months post-randomization and ending at 6 months post-randomization). Pharmacy claims data (i.e., days supply and refill frequency) were used to estimate adherence at each endpoint date.
