Study Arms (2)

Pharmacy staff

Pharmacy staff working at pharmacies which have chosen to implement PatientToc software for this implementation science project and evaluation. Pharmacy staff will be observed and participate in interviews pertaining to their experiences using PatientToc.

Other: PatientToc use in pharmacies

Pharmacy patients

Patients engaged in completing medication adherence-related questionnaires in the PatientToc software at their pharmacies. Patient-level medication, health history, and self-reported adherence information will be collected from patients meeting eligibility criteria. Patients will also be observed and interviewed about their experiences using PatientToc.

Interventions

PatientToc use in pharmaciesOther

PatientToc has been adapted for use in pharmacies. Patients using specific medications will be prompted to complete questionnaires about their self-reported adherence.

Study Population

Pharmacy staff and patients at pharmacies agreeing to implement PatientToc as part of this implementation science project.

Pharmacist/pharmacy staff eligibility criteria: * Aged 18 years or older * Employee (paid) or PharmD rotation student trainee/volunteer at the pharmacy during the time of PatientToc™ implementation Pharmacy patient eligibility criteria: The specific pharmacy workflow for introducing patients to PatientToc™ may vary by participating pharmacy. For example, all pharmacy patients might have the opportunity to complete PROs in the tablet/mobile application (if desired by the pharmacy) with only a subset included in our evaluation. This variation does not change our study/evaluation procedures and is allowed to facilitate successful PatientToc™ implementation in patient care. For the purposes of this evaluation, individual-level data will be sought from patients who are: * ≥ 50 years of age * Have one or more specific chronic conditions (i.e., hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia; per self-report, ICD code if available, and/or inferred by medications filled) requiring routine (regularly scheduled, not "as needed" dosing) * Medications are oral (solid dosage form) * Prescription medication filled at least once previously by the study pharmacy as 30-day supplies. In situations where patients with 30-day supplies also fill some medications as 90-day (or other quantity) supplies, they will be enrolled if their first medication chosen for PROs completion was a 30-day supply. * Baseline non-adherence as determined by responses to the BMQ PRO for one or more targeted medications, specifically, the first medication chosen for PROs completion by the patient for their primary condition of interest (hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia) when they have more than one of these conditions and take more than one targeted medication. * Able to provide consent and read and/or comprehend English or another language for which the intervention and study materials (e.g., consent documents) is available OR has a legal representative (self-reported) with authority to act on their behalf to complete PROs/interview/other data collection and consent documents.
