I am a big fan of Infographics. They are a great for turning otherwise complex data into practical information. Here’s an Infographic I built to describe the “disconnect” that often occurs between physicians and patients and the impact of adherence.
Great Infographic Steve! I agree that patients need more education on how and why to take prescriptions. I shared your graphic on my blog about medication management, and some helpful questions patients can ask their doctors before taking new medication.
Only 5% of Smartphone apps (including health care apps) are still in use within 30 days of initial download. Approximately 26% apps are used only once and 74% discontinued by the tenth use.
As a former hospital executive, consumer health behavior researcher and recent care giver, I have witnessed first hand the marvelous, healing power of trusted relationships between doctors and patients. Learn more about my story - video.
I have also witnessed incredible oversights and gaps in physician-patient communications that have had "near catastrophic" consequences for patients like my wife who was dealing with lung cancer.
Mind the Gap , and my company Smart Health Messaging, focus on developing ideas and solutions for improving the quality of communications between physicians and patients...and in so doing, improve patient engagement, safety and outcomes, increase adherence and satisfaction and reduce costs.
Very nice infographic nice work. Only 49 seconds discussing a new medication yeah I can see why many patients are skeptical.
