Increasingly, constructive thought is being given to non-interpretive competencies in Radiology training and practice. Two of these are “Practice-Based Learning” and “Systems-Based Practice”. These areas are evolving. It seems likely that, in some way, the paradigm of “Evidence-Based Practice” (EBP) derived from the McMaster/Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) methodology will form part of these new disciplines. This introductory article sets the scene for this Feature Section in Abdominal Imaging consisting entirely of short “Critically Appraised Topics” produced using EBP techniques. It is hoped that this will stimulate further discussion and consideration of the potential role of EBP in radiology education.
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.
