Patient adherence to a given treatment plan directly correlates to the quality of disease outcome. In looking at the how and why behind patient adherence and non-adherence to a treatment regimen, understanding realistic expectations of a patient can provide a beneficial guide towards providing optimal healthcare. Treatment Adherence in Dermatology offers insight and strategies for understanding and promoting treatment adherence with a focus on dermatological conditions, specifically psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and acne. Reasons for non-adherence are investigated particularly in populations such as children and patients with multiple co-morbidities. The proposed text provides patient and physician-centered strategies alongside technological advancements to promote adherence. Written for the practicing dermatologist, this title will find audience with primary care physicians, students, residents, and other practicing doctors alike.

The New York Times has called adherence the world’s "other drug problem." Physicians prescribe medications, but patients do not always use them. While it would be easy for physicians to blame patients for treatment failures, physicians can do more to motivate patients to use their medications as recommended. Practical Ways to Improve Patient Adherence, Second Edition, is an excellent resource for physicians and allied health professionals whose patients exhibit poor adherence. Daniel J. Lewis, MD (Department of Dermatology, University of Pennsylvania Health System), and experienced adherence researcher, Steven R. Feldman, MD, PhD (Departments of Dermatology and Social Sciences & Health Policy, Wake Forest University School of Medicine), examine the problem of poor adherence and offer concrete techniques to encourage patients to use their medications and improve treatment outcomes. This book offers novel, potent ways to get patients to use their medications and improve treatment outcomes – tools healthcare providers can use day in and day out. A medical education is not complete without a thorough understanding of the hurdles that contribute to poor adherence and what health professionals can and should do about it.

An essential, comprehensive, and practical guide to understanding, measuring, and modifying patients’ adherence behavior to optimize treatment outcomes, this book covers all major aspects of adherence in dermatology. The first section describes current knowledge on the magnitude and impact of nonadherence; the second outlines measuring adherence in the context of databases, trials and practice. The third section addresses adherence in key skin diseases and the fourth covers numerous strategies to improve adherence by mitigating specific patient barriers. All sections emphasize ways to optimize communication with patients: the foundation for producing successful health behavior change. Low adherence helps explain why, despite effective treatments existing for all major dermatologic conditions, many patients still fail to improve. When clinicians endeavour to maximize adherence, with the aid of evidence-based strategies, these drugs will often realise their potential. This book devotes special attention to understanding why individuals may be nonadherent, so that each patient can receive a suitable treatment regimen, with a personalized plan of action. This book is designed for clinicians at all levels, serving as both introductory training for medical students and residents, and an update on the field for experienced practitioners. Researchers and policymakers will also benefit from its coverage of research methods and the impact of nonadherence in specific diseases. Adherence in Dermatology bridges the gap between outcomes researchers and clinicians by explaining the latest findings in plain language, with examples from everyday dermatologic practice.

Physicians prescribe medications, but patients do not always use them. While it would be easy for us to blame patients for treatment failures, we can do more to motivate them to use their medications as we have recommended. Perhaps we can provide better care to our patients simply by encouraging them to use the medications we already have than we can by developing new ones. We may even be able to clear them of their skin disease by administering therapies they have already tried-but did not use consistently or correctly-without needing to resort to riskier or more expensive therapies. This is not a theoretical tome; it is an easy-to-read, entertaining look at the many steps we can use to encourage patients to use their medications. Practical Ways to Improve Patient Adherence is an excellent resource for physicians and allied health professionals whose patients exhibit poor adherence. Daniel J. Lewis and experienced adherence researcher Steven R. Feldman, M.D., Ph.D. examine the problem of poor adherence in dermatology and offer concrete techniques to improve adherence. The book offers novel, potent ways to get patients to use their medications and improve treatment outcomes-tools healthcare providers can use day in and day out. A medical education is not complete without a thorough understanding of the hurdles that contribute to poor adherence and what we as health professionals can and should do about it.

Patients who see multiple doctors for skin conditions probably have one thing in common that explains why their disease is so resistant to treatment; they probably aren't using their medication. However, despite probable high frequency of poor adherence in patients with common, chronic skin diseases, adherence issues have been largely ignored by de
