Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Medication Adherence Smartphone App	MyMedSchedule is a consumer-grade smartphone application currently available on various marketplaces of the Android and iOS platforms that acts as a portal to the free service MyMedSchedule.com website. It can interface with the MedActionPlan discharge planning tool for providers by automatically populating fields, allowing medication lists to be pushed to a subject's MyMedSchedule account, allowing the input of complex medication regimens, and aiding in medication reconciliation. A MyMedSchedule account can be setup with the patient's name, date of birth, allergies, emergency contact, healthcare providers, insurance plan information, and complete medication list. Medication dose and refill reminders can be set and sent through short message service (SMS) text message or e-mail. SMS text message reminders will be used for this study.
