Background<br />

Medication adherence continues to be a major pitfall<br />

for advancing healthcare delivery. Poor adherence is a<br />

source for preventable illness and hundreds of billions<br />

of dollars in unnecessary costs in US healthcare. Some<br />

of the major barriers to medication adherence include<br />

patient difficulties with complex medication instructions<br />

and failure to keep track of medication consumption<br />

and refill schedules. In response to this gap in care<br />

coordination, AmerisourceBergen recently launched<br />

the newest release of the Good Neighbor Pharmacy<br />

mobile app, called My GNP.<br />

Program Details<br />

The My GNP mobile app enables patients to:<br />

• Send refill requests on the go<br />

• Monitor medication adherence<br />

• Track medications and related health information<br />

The app offers several new services that enable patients<br />

to monitor adherence, track health, and request medication<br />

refills:<br />

• My Med Planner is a calendar tool that allows patients<br />

to view daily medications and receive reminders<br />

• My Med Notes enables patients to log healthrelated<br />

notes such as dosage, side effects, and<br />

food interactions<br />
