AlignMap

AlignMap’s primary theme is the improvement of treatment implementation, which is similar but not identical to compliance and adherence, by bringing the patient, his or her clinicians, and other stakeholders into alignment with a single, shared objective: to implement the best workable treatment plan for the patient.

The Blog

This blog is designed to serve as a workshop of sorts, exploring relevant research and thought.

The Resources

The Resources Archive, accessible via the Resources button top right of any page, is an annotated listing of links, located at Furl.net, to web sites that relate to patients’ implementation of treatment plans, patient compliance, adherence, concordance, and related topics. This archive has a reasonably good search function which can be used with key words or to filter by category. The following partial listing of the categories in the AlignMap Archive may be helpful in providing an inkling of the content:

  • Bioethics Of Compliance
  • Culture & Ethnicity Effect On Compliance
  • Economics & Compliance
  • Prevalence & Persistence of Noncompliance
  • Public Health & Compliance
  • Special Populations & Compliance: HIV
  • Special Populations & Compliance: Lifestyle Disorders
  • Special Populations & Compliance: Organ Transplants
  • Systemic Conflicts Affecting Compliance

The Rest

An overview of the AlignMap.com site can be found at the AlignMap Home button at the top right of any page. The web pages with self-explanatory titles can be accessed by links in the right column.
