Systematic review of randomised trials of interventions to assist patients to follow prescriptions for medications
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Low adherence of patients to prescribed, self-administered medical interventions is ubiquitous. Low adherence limits the benefits of current medical care. Efforts to assist patients to follow treatments might improve the efficiency of care and substantially enhance benefits. Our objective was to summarise the results of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of interventions to help patients follow prescriptions for medications.
