' + 'Denominator
' + 'Individuals who have met the pharmacy's criteria for inclusion in the medication synchronization program and have been contacted by the pharmacy.

' + 'None.
' + 'Numerator

' + 'Medication synchronization allows the alignment of refill dates for all of a patient's chronic medications to a single date. This process serves as a built-in refill reminder and allows the consolidation of all the patient's medications to drive the efficient use of dose reminder packaging, if applicable. Medication synchronization also allows a pharmacy to adopt an appointment-based model to schedule patient care services around the pick-up or delivery date. A recent study of a community pharmacy-based medication synchronization program showed an additional 84 days of therapy, raising percent of days covered from the low 60-percentile to the mid 80-percentile range.
" + "To maximize medication adherence and have the greatest impact on relevant quality measures, providers should seek the most effective and efficient tactics for determining eligibility criteria, engaging eligible patients, enrollment and syncing. Since the goal of a QII is to help organizations continually improve performance internally, providers should accurately measure the effectiveness of each tool or tactic or combination of tools and tactics and quickly adopt the most effective ones.
" + 'This QII enables the pharmacy to see how effectively they are engaging their target population in the medication synchronization program.
