The ultimate aim of any prescribed medical therapy is to achieve certain desired outcomes — they are part and parcel of the objectives in the management of the diseases or conditions. However, despite all the best intentions and efforts on the part of health care professionals, those outcomes might not be achievable if the patients are non-compliant. This shortfall may also have serious and detrimental effects from the perspective of disease management.
Therapeutic compliance is the patient’s behaviors (in terms of taking medicines, following diets, or executing lifestyle changes) that coincides with the health care provider’s recommendations for health and medical advice.
