Don’t pay for adherence when it can be self-funded!

#523

Getting non-adherent patients to listen to and dialogue with adherent patients can improve adherence.

#524  (corollary to #523)

To improve adherence, find stories from patients who are diagnosed, on treatment, adherent, and willing to tell their story!

#525 (corollary to 523)

Just because it’s a story told by a patient doesn’t make it an adherence story.

#659

Place patients at the heart of the discussion, and not just as the subject matter of the discussion.

#733

Use trusted members of the community to deliver a message that has meaning to that community in a manner that community is used to hearing.

#900

#905

Use public pressure (not from corporations or special interest groups) to make health insurers back down from a fight.

#1131

Engage physicians to begin and close the treatment loop.

#1154

Reminders for patients to take their medications are not enough.

#1220

#1232

To boost patient adherence (and product revenues), engage nurses.
