It’s been a few years since I’ve worked on medication adherence solutions. It seems to have become a big focus again in the industry both with the Medicare Star Ratings program and with all the emphasis on waste.

As I started thinking about adherence, I thought it would be good to create a list of solutions and vendors. I couldn’t find one anywhere on the web. So, here’s my initial list of almost 100 companies.
I’ll make this a dynamic list so please comment or send me suggestions to add.
Here’s some old posts on adherence that I think are still relevant here:
