The Medication Compliance Evaluation Scale (MCES)

The Medication Compliance Evaluation Scale (MCES) is a tool used by healthcare providers to assess how well a patient follows their prescribed medication plan. It measures factors like whether patients take their medications correctly, on time, and as directed. The goal is to identify adherence issues early so healthcare providers can address barriers, improve treatment outcomes, and ensure medications are used effectively. The scale provides a structured way to evaluate and monitor medication-taking behavior, supporting personalized care and better health management.
