The Medication Non-Adherence Risk Assessment Handout offers a series of steps to determine how well a patient is able to identify and self-administer their medications.

The Medication Non-Adherence Staff Education Tool promotes a comprehensive and standardized approach to evaluating the presence and possible underlying causes of medication non-adherence.

The National Transitions of Care's Medication Reconciliation Elements Grid provides a list of variables one should commonly and routinely consider when an individual is entering and leaving a different system or level of health care.

The Morisky Scale is a simple four-question tool to evaluate a patient's medication adherence.

The Medication Discrepancy Tool (MDT) is designed to facilitate reconciliation of medications and any identified discrepancies and corresponding drivers across settings and prescribers. The information collected from use of this tool should be aggregated and shared with the sending provider where the medication discrepancy originated.
