Moving cystic fibrosis care from rescue to prevention by embedding adherence measurement in routine care

Martin J Wildman et al. Paediatr Respir Rev. 2014 Jun.

Abstract

Cystic fibrosis [CF] is a chronic disease in which preventative treatment with nebulised antibiotics can reduce pulmonary exacerbations that otherwise require rescue therapy. However, adherence is low. Making adherence to maintenance treatment visible is a crucial step towards improving adherence. In this article, we discuss how adherence data can be used to support Quality Improvement in CF through behaviour change in both people with cystic fibrosis and their clinical teams.

Keywords: Adherence; Cystic Fibrosis; Telemedicine.
