THE HISTORY OF CMAG
How were CMSA's Case Management Adherence Guidelines (CMAG) Developed?
The CMAG tool was developed from concepts presented by the World Health Organization (WHO). The foundation: a model for medication adherence that is based on patient information, motivation, and behavior skill needs.
Launched during Case Management Week celebrations in October, 2004, the CMAG-1 workshops have received very positive feedback and ratings. CMAG is now accepted to be the best standard and set of tools ever developed to assist Case Managers work successfully with patients in the adherence of taking prescription medicines.
These guidelines are designed to help case managers aid in the assessment, planning, facilitation, and advocacy of patient adherence. They provide an interaction and management algorithm to assess and improve the patient's knowledge and his/her motivation to take medications as they are prescribed. They also provide great flexibility in that a patient's individual needs are taken into account. This important and innovative program is supported by Pfizer, Inc.
