Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Short description:
This book offers novel, potent ways to get patients to use their medications and improve treatment outcomes – tools healthcare providers can use day in and day out. A medical education is not complete without a thorough understanding of the hurdles that contribute to poor adherence and what health professionals can and should do about it.
MoreLong description:
The New York Times has called adherence the world’s "other drug problem." Physicians prescribe medications, but patients do not always use them. While it would be easy for physicians to blame patients for treatment failures, physicians can do more to motivate patients to use their medications as recommended.
Practical Ways to Improve Patient Adherence, Second Edition, is an excellent resource for physicians and allied health professionals whose patients exhibit poor adherence. Daniel J. Lewis, MD (Department of Dermatology, University of Pennsylvania Health System), and experienced adherence researcher, Steven R. Feldman, MD, PhD (Departments of Dermatology and Social Sciences & Health Policy, Wake Forest University School of Medicine), examine the problem of poor adherence and offer concrete techniques to encourage patients to use their medications and improve treatment outcomes.
