How Can Healthcare Providers Improve Medication Adherence?
Healthcare providers play a significant role in improving medication adherence. Here are some strategies:
Education: Providing clear, age-appropriate information about the illness and the importance of the medication. Simplifying regimens: Prescribing medications with fewer doses per day or using combination drugs. Follow-ups: Scheduling regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and address concerns. Engagement: Involving children in their care by explaining the benefits of adherence in a way they can understand.
