    Journal: Praxis (Bern 1994); 1995 Jan 17; 84(3):58-62. PubMed ID: 7846429.
    Abstract:
    In this last of three parts on patient compliance possibilities to improve compliance are reviewed. Compliance-promoting measures include among others uncomplicated prescriptions (such as one daily dose, drug-combinations and written instructions), frequent, well organized controls and the self-involvement of the patient in his treatment. Employment of well educated assistants attending long term patients shows positive results. Furthermore installment of a good patient-physician relation is one of the most important prerequisites for a good compliance.
