Advancing Prescription Medicine Compliance: New Paradigms, New Practices offers a synopsis of the ramifications of noncompliance and how different groups can help alleviate its negative impacts on patients by providing a common understanding of the current compliance situation. Taken from the proceedings of the symposium of the same name sponsored by the National Council on Patient Information and Education (NCPIE), Advancing Prescription Medicine Compliance reviews the problem of noncompliance, its health and economic costs, and underlying factors. It offers health care professionals an overview of strategies with demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing compliance and the tools and materials available to help implement them.
