M1 Discussion Case
About it in the context of the multiple factors that can really contribute to patient behavior.
One thing that’s not in that model is the behavior of the health professionals.
How does that contribute to whether a patient follows recommendations?
But what if the patient and the professional don’t agree about the patient’s condition, about what are the best options for treatment?
And what if sometimes the patient follows directions and other times they don’t?
Do we decide that that patient is non adherent? Is the patient non adherent?
Are the behaviors non adherent? Like, what are we doing with this term and what does it mean when it goes on the chart?
What if we use phrases like treatment use? Or maybe we could talk about patient’s chosen health behaviors instead?
And are patients the only ones who don’t adhere to medical advice.
