Coping with chronic diseases and compliance to treatment has been crucial for managing chronic illnesses and achieving better health outcomes, yet it continues to remain a significant challenge. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), less than 50 percent of patients adhere to their medication regimens as prescribed. This has resulted in substantial clinical and economic burdens, including increased hospital admissions, higher morbidity and mortality rates, escalated healthcare costs, and reducing patient health outcome and quality of life.
A science-based, personalized, customized methodology builds need-based adherence interventions, as reminders alone are insufficient for ensuring long-term adherence. By studying real-world insights and data early on, Axios’ experts design and implement successful interventions that are tailored to individual needs with elements of personalization and customization. These interventions typically integrate reminders within a broader ecosystem of support, including but not limited to educational, motivational, and behavioral strategies in patient support programs.
Studies have shown that multifaceted interventions, which address various dimensions of adherence, are more effective than single component interventions. A key to the success of these interventions is building a caring relationship and understanding the patient’s situation and needs through validated methodology - a unique approach adopted by Axios International. Axios’ experts and patient care team provide care based on personalized adherence support plan, often empowering individuals to take responsibility in managing their condition and adopting positive behavior toward their health.
Adherence is influenced by multiple dimensions, key among which are those related to specialized healthcare professional and system that seamlessly connects this care to patients no matter where they are, access to the full course of treatment, socioeconomic, and other condition factors surrounding the patient.
“These diverse elements require comprehensive and science-based strategies and methodology to design adherence interventions that are tailored and need-based,” says Dr. Anas Nofal, Chief Business Officer at Axios International. “It isn’t enough to simply know what is required for proper adherence; one must also thoroughly understand and address all major factors that directly impact the decisions for long-term adherence. Hence, a 360-degree approach to patient care is important,” he adds.
After diagnosis, patients often lapse in adhering to treatment regimens. By providing access to maximized adherence solutions through the Patient Support Programs (PSPs) we manage, Axios always aims to create an integrated ecosystem of care and treatment by looking at the patient journey holistically. Patients receive 360-degree support from the Axios Program team, who engage and enable them through interventions like education, awareness, and the enablement of coping mechanisms for their condition with shared decision making. Axios’ agile and multi-disciplinary experts ensure the much-need care is delivered through these personalized interventions.
Once patients are referred to a patient support program managed by Axios, the patient care team at the CareLine hub ensures that patients’ needs are met individually. Using Axios’ validated and proprietary tool, the Patient Needs Assessment Tool (PNAT), the specialized patient care team then customizes a tailored service solution for patients and develops a personalized adherence support plan.
The success of Axios’ adherence interventions is measured and reflected through an increase in treatment compliance rate, decrease in patient dropout rates, and increased stay on treatment which ultimately improves health outcomes.
