Content:
"The New York Times has called adherence the world's "other drug problem." Physicians prescribe medications, but patients do not always use them. While it would be easy for physicians to blame patients for treatment failures, physicians can do more to motivate patients to use their medications as recommended. Practical Ways to Improve Patient Adherence, Second Edition, is an excellent resource for physicians and allied health professionals whose patients exhibit poor adherence. Daniel J. Lewis, MD (Department of Dermatology, University of Pennsylvania Health System), an experienced adherence researcher, and Steven R. Feldman, MD, PhD (Departments of Dermatology and Social Sciences & Health Policy, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center), examine the problem of poor adherence and offer concrete techniques to encourage patients to use their medications and improve treatment outcomes. This book offers novel, potent ways to get patients to use their medications and improve treatment outcomes - tools healthcare providers can use day in and day out. A medical education is not complete without a thorough understanding of the hurdles that contribute to poor adherence and what health professionals can and should do about it. "20 years of patient adherence research presented in a simple, fun, and easy-to-read style... a once-in-a-lifetime treat!" Warren H. Chan, MD, MS, dermatologist "East to digest and remarkably practical for physicians... Recommend it to all my friends in medicine!" Diego R. Dasilva, MD, dermatologist The episode of the Dermasphere podcast discussing points arising from the first edition was awarded the Best Overall in the 2022 Dermie Awards. Published in association with the Journal of Dermatological Treatment"--
