Lack Of Medication Adherence By Patients
When a patient leaves a healthcare facility, the doctor expects the patient to pick up the newly prescribed medications and take them as directed. More often than not, patients either don’t pick up the medication or take it properly causing a lack of medication adherence. This can be avoided if both patient and provider can work together and discuss the goals of care. Medication non-compliance or lack of medication adherence account for up to 50%
