Medications often represent the first line of defense in preventing or delaying the progression of chronic diseases. The health implications of improper medication compliance, and failure to identify it, are considerable. The authors thus developed and validated the Hopkins Medication Schedule (HMS), a new objective test of one's ability to understand and implement a routine prescription medication.
