MPR and PDC of two identical dispense patterns. Each dispense represented by the red bar is of 90 days supply, with the left ending of the bar representing the dispense date and the right ending of the bar representing when the supply of the dispense will run out. Top: MPR sums days supply indiscriminately with respect to overlaps and gaps resulting in a value of > 100%. Bottom: PDC accounts for gaps and addresses overlaps by shifting subsequent dispense date to when supply runs out
