Patient compliance.
Compliance is a highly individual phenomenon, and the decision to comply is a dynamic process. The physician who wishes to respond to compliance problems must offer behavioral strategies that are tailored to the individual patient and are continuously applied. Compliance behavior is complex and multifactorial. No single compliance-improving strategy is as effective as multiple approaches within the context of a good physician-patient relationship.
