About this course

Medication adherence is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as “the extent to which a person’s behavior – taking medication, following a diet, and/or executing lifestyle changes, corresponds with agreed recommendations from a health care provider” (WHO, 2003). This 2-hour continuing education course aims to provide healthcare professionals with evidence-based strategies to assess how well patients adhere to medications, identify any barriers contributing to nonadherence and ultimately provide effective interventions to improve adherence and thereby, patient outcomes. This course will integrate current literature, introduce validated assessment tools, and discuss applying interventions in relation to the cause of nonadherence.

Intended for: LPN, RN, Nurse Practitioner(s), Physician Assistant(s), MD, DO, Pharmacists(s), Social Worker(s), Healthcare Professionals
