    Abstract
    Medication adherence plays a critical role in achieving positive clinical outcomes, yet non-adherence remains a persistent challenge across healthcare settings. This presentation will explore the impact of medication non-adherence on patient health, treatment effectiveness, and overall healthcare utilization. Participants will gain insight into the multifaceted reasons patients and families may struggle to follow prescribed medication regimens, including behavioral, environmental, socioeconomic, and system-level factors. The session will also highlight practical, evidence-based interventions that clinicians can implement to support and improve medication adherence, ranging from communication strategies and patient education to workflow enhancements and technology-based solutions. By the end of the presentation, attendees will be equipped with actionable approaches to promote safer, more effective medication management.
