Almost 30% of all hospital admissions for people over the age of 65 are directly attributable to medication non-adherence.

125,000 people die each year from non-adherence, twice the number killed in automobile accidents.

Poor adherence with medication regiments costs society $150 billion per year

.Nearly $48 billion in annual costs result from unnecessary medication-induced hospitalization

.Approximately 40% of people entering nursing homes do so because they are unable to self-medicate in their own homes.

About one-half of the 1.8 billion prescriptions dispensed annually are not taken correctly, contributing to prolonged or additional illnesses.

At the present time, more than 7 million households have an unpaid "care-giver" who is providing daily assistance to a family member age 50 or older.
