As a pharmacist, you often need to assess how well patients are following their medication regimens. In clinical practice, **medication adherence** is typically measured as the percentage of prescribed doses that a patient actually takes. Using pandas, you can efficiently calculate and report adherence rates for groups of patients. This allows you to quickly identify those who may need additional support or intervention. By calculating adherence percentages, filtering out patients with low adherence, and summarizing the overall adherence in your population, you gain actionable insights that can improve patient outcomes and support pharmacy quality initiatives.
