The number of the US population who are 65 years and older in 2014 was 46.2 million and it is 14.5% of US population; with an expected growth rate of 10,000 per day. Poor medication adherence results in 33% to 69% of medication related hospital admissions for the elderly. At least 125,000 American die annually due to poor medication adherence.
