Improving adherence--sharing experiences.
Nonadherence is a significant concern for practitioners. Adherence rates have been estimated at 50%, demonstrating the need for information regarding interventions to improve adherence. Patient education through creative analogies or stories may help overcome barriers related to patient misconceptions. There is a need for individual clinicians to have a forum for sharing successful strategies used in patient adherence on an individual level. An electronic column for clinicians to share innovative approaches may fill this need.
