Some key data about the drivers of healthcare costs

• 90% of the nation’s $3.8 trillion in annual health care expenditures are for people with chronic and mental health conditions.
• 6 in 10 people have at least one chronic condition, and 40% have two or more.
  
• 50% of patients do not take their medication as prescribed. The cost of non-adherence is roughly $133PEPM.
• It's more than an adherence issue, however, as varying types of medication therapies have different problems and associated costs. Optimizing medication use can decrease emergency room costs by 23% - 32% for inpatient hospital stays over a three-year period.
• Inefficient chronic condition management is costly. The price tag for non-optimized medication use in the US is $528 billion in 2016 dollars, equivalent to 16% of US health care expenditure.
• The importance of health literacy within a patient population cannot be overemphasized. For every 100 prescriptions written, 50-70 are filled at the pharmacy, 48-66 are picked up but only 25-30 are taken correctly and only 15 – 25 are refilled correctly.
