What can physicians do to improve patient compliance?
Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which physicians are instructing patients about their medications. Using a telephone survey of approximately 2,000 adults, it was determined that whereas physicians are doing an excellent job in some areas of patient counseling on pharmaceuticals, they are lacking in other areas.
