Thoughtful Commentary On Core Issues

Source: Dealing with non-compliance
The Pharmaceutical Journal Vol 263 No 7074 p922-923, December 4, 1999 Forum

While the majority of AlignMap posts deal with research, the topic today is an editorial emanating from a Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin seminar on “How to look after patients who fail to care for themselves.”

Although this seminar was held in 1999, its content, the economic, ethical, and clinical aspects of treating noncompliant patients, remains pertinent today. This brief (less than 2000 words) article consists entirely of a series of comments from seminar participants that are insightful, thoughtful, and sometimes provocative and is well worth reading.
