Implications of Under-Reporting Medication Side Effects: Beta-Blockers in Heart Failure as a Case Example
ConclusionWe conclude that under-reporting perceived side effects of beta-blockers among adults with heart failure is common, is associated with Black race and low education, and may contribute to patient willingness to take additional medication to prevent future medical encounters.

Association of Patient Enrollment in Medicare Part D With Outcomes After Acute Myocardial Infarction Original Articles
Conclusions— Only half of Medicare-insured patients with AMI were enrolled in Part D by hospital discharge, and their 30-day and 1-year adjusted outcomes did not differ substantially from nonenrollees. There remain opportunities for improvement in medication adherence among patients with prescription drug coverage.

Abstract 118: Discharge Medications, Hospice Use and 30 Day Outcomes for Hospitalized Heart Failure Patients Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: As heart failure progresses, transfer to palliative or hospice services is often appropriate. Including patients when death is imminent in outcome analyses could overestimate medication effects. Mechanisms for identifying such patients other than hospice use are limited but constitute an important goal for future research.

Abstract 150: Resource Utilization Patterns and Outcomes Among Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: Findings From a Multi-Payer Analysis Poster Session II
Conclusion: These findings suggest that many patients with ACS do not receive appropriate recommended antithrombotic prophylaxis, and opportunities exist to improve therapy. Increased use of software tools such as AQuA may support enhanced education efforts aimed at improving adherence to guidelines and quality of care.
