Background
The problem with antidepressants
Research has shown that more than 50% of patients discontinue their antidepressant treatment before the recommended 6-month period without consulting their physician or pharmacist. Therefore, it is difficult to propose a more suitable treatment. Consequently, patient follow-up is compromised as well as their well-being.
Pilot Study Results
Project
PERSISTANCE is a disease management program designed to optimize the use of treatments for chronic diseases. The available program, at the moment, concerns antidepressants for the treatment of depression or anxiety.
Wellness and Disease Management (DM) programs can help employers and insurers to control costs, while optimizing the health outcomes of their employees.
In the past, companies implemented health and wellness programs on a voluntary basis. However, with such initiatives it is important to evaluate their efficacy as well as their return on investment.
