title: Factors contributing to poor concordance in health care.
abstract: Nurses may expect patients to follow advice but they do not always do so. This is called non-concordance or non-compliance. Nurses are in a prime position to support and develop a model of communication where patients are asked about the extent to which they want to play a part in decision-making about their health.
