Patient Compliance CME Online
Faculty: William T. O’Byrne, MD
The Course
Targeted to Primary Care physicians, this course is introduced with case studies one might routinely encounter in a family practice clinic or an internist’s office.
The content, however, centers on pertinent research (with full citations provided), including at least one study that I had not previously seen with counter-intuitive findings holding significant implications for day to day practice.
I was also impressed that Dr. O’Byrne was careful to indicate that the interventions recommended were the best the literature had to offer rather than research based, well documented protocols with high success rates, a category of compliance enhancement methodologies that, as Dr. O’Bryne points out, has been and continues to be empty.
This is a well done, brief introduction to thinking about patient compliance that is a step up from the “10 Steps To Better Compliance” laundry list of one-size-fits-all clinical interventions which is, unfortunately, the sort of content that turns up all too often in CME and training classes.
