Abstract:
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Adherence to asthma therapies is poor leading to unnecessary morbidity and increased use of emergency and hospital resources. Strategies to improve adherence have not been successful. RECENT FINDINGS:Asthma adherence disease management is a clinical method to improve adherence for asthma patients. The method includes: diagnosing adherence status; identifying patient barriers leading to nonadherence; selecting specific strategies for the clinician for each barrier identified; use of patient-centered communication skills to enhance the effectiveness of the strategies employed. This approach is now being tested in multiple controlled trials. SUMMARY:Clinicians may want to consider these strategies, in whole or in part, to improve asthma patient adherence.
