Question Explanation
Patient compliance is the level at which the patients’ conduct or behavior adheres to the clinician’s advice and subscribe to the authority of the healthcare professional. Patient compliance is crucial to enhance patient outcomes, minimize health complications and in preventing hospital readmissions. Additionally, compliance is important in reducing mortality and the cost of healthcare (Beena & Jose, 2013).
