Excerpt

Operational weather predictions have shown us how a process-based approach relying on four key building blocks helps weathering storms. Nowadays, weather forecasts allow to predict events and enable planning relief actions few weeks in advance Hoskins [5], Buizza and Leutbecher [2]; Siilmann et al. [9]. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
