Improving Patient Outcomes Through Better Medication Compliance

HCPC Europe

Adherence of the patient is a key factor to success in treatment. HCPC Europe is a gathering of medical practitioners, industry players and policymakers to facilitate the use of packaging solutions that enable patients to get the right medication, in the right way, at the right time.
What We Mean by Patient Compliance

A Simple Concept With Powerful Impact

Patient compliance refers to adherence to a treatment as prescribed, i.e. the right dose, the right time and the right duration. Even minor variations may decrease effectiveness, risks, and raise healthcare expenditures.
What We Do

Turning Knowledge Into Action

HCPC Europe collaborates with the healthcare, industry and policy sectors to promote patient compliance by means of practical, packaging based innovation.

1. Awareness & Education

We raise awareness of patient compliance challenges by highlighting real-world issues that affect treatment success and patient safety across healthcare systems.

2. Research & Best Practices

We collect, disseminate, and market research findings and best practices that have been proved to be effective in helping to change patient behavior in a positive way through packaging design.

3. Compliance-Focused Studies

HCPC Europe promotes research and projects that investigate the effectiveness of novel methods of enhancing compliance by enhancing communication, usability, and packaging designs.

4. Practical Packaging Guidance

We formulate clear, practical recommendations on how the patients can be assisted in more accurate and consistent adherence to the treatment instructions through packaging solutions.

5. Professional & Policy Advisory

We offer advice and insights to health practitioners, industry leaders and policymakers to aid in informed decision-making in regard to patient compliance.

6. European Collaboration

We work together with organizations in Europe to exchange knowledge, coordinate, and enhance compliance-based initiatives to have a greater impact.

Why Patient Compliance Matters

Better Outcomes for Patients and Healthcare Systems

When patients follow treatments correctly, everyone benefits:
  • Improved treatment effectiveness
  • Reduced risk of complications
  • Lower healthcare costs
  • Less medication waste
  • Greater patient confidence and safety
Lack of compliance, conversely, may result in unnecessary harm and extra treatment costs.

Driving Better Patient Compliance Through Design

HCPC Europe is an organization that exists to enhance patient outcomes by enhancing education, collaboration, and quantifiable enhancement of medication compliance in Europe.

Our Mission

We train the healthcare sector on how to enhance patient compliance by encouraging patient-friendly and patient-centered medication packaging. In our opinion, packaging is not just a container, but a communication tool, which, in its direct influence, predetermines the behavior of patients and the success of treatment.

Our Motivation

According to our members, medication packaging is an important issue in patient safety and adherence. Through collaboration, HCPC Europe will be able to turn research, design insight, and policy into viable compliance solutions, which are applicable in the real-world healthcare context.

Our Goal

We aim to accomplish evidence-based and demonstrable gains in patient compliance through packaging-related programs that are viable, reproducible, and system-wide.

From Insight to Action

HCPC Europe assists in closing the gap between compliance theory and actual patient outcomes by offering education and research support, as well as cross-sector involvement in order to provide a better understanding of the concept, safer medication use, and improved treatment outcome.
