How do doctors address heart failure patients’ disclosures of medication adherence problems during hospital and primary care consultations? An exploratory interaction-based observational cohort study
In this explorative study, the doctors were more likely to address the patients' adherence problems associated with unintentional non-adherence risks than those associated with intentional non-adherence risks. Even when doctors attempted to address HF patients' medication adherence problems, half of the problems remained unresolved, usually because patients indicated that the doctor's suggestion to improve their situation was against their preference.
