| Group 1 | Telepharmacist Intervention | Patients diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension, or hyperlipidemia exhibiting sub-optimal adherence to their medications \[defined as combined (average of averages) proportion of days covered (PDC) \< 80%\] who also have poor or worsening disease control.~Telepharmacist intervention: The intervention consists of a brief telephonic consultation with a clinical pharmacist using behavioral interviewing techniques tailored to patient's level of health activation and progress reports of medication-taking and disease control. Based on the barriers identified during the initial telephone consultation, patients will be offered more intensive support including reminder and motivational text-messages, video visits and pillboxes. | 90 | 2,038 | OG000 |
