Using collaboration to assist patient compliance

Sample Question

lma Frankenberg is an 85-year-old woman in an outpatient care setting waiting for an invasive pelvic procedure. The medical professional to help in undertaking the procedure enters the waiting room and “Alma.” She does not reply and the clinician retreats to the working area.  After 15 minutes, the clinician returns and calls “Alma Frankenberg.” The patient does not respond and the medical professional retreats again. After other 15 minutes elapses, the clinician approaches Alma and shouts in her ear, “Are you Alma Frankenberg?” She replies, “No I am not, and I am not deaf either, and when you get my name correct I will answer you.”

How would you use collaboration to assist in compliance with a patient as difficult as Alma

Question Explanation

Patient compliance is essential to facilitate the effectiveness of the intervention prescribed by the clinicians.  Noncompliance undermines attainment of the desired treatment goals, resulting to poor patient outcomes   and increase in the healthcare cost. Some of the main factors that contribute to patient noncompliance to the treatment regimen include lack of understanding as a result of ineffective communication; poor patient –care provider interaction; health beliefs and attitudes; the adverse effects of the ailments on the patients’ decision making and social factors, such as social isolation, prejudice and discrimination (Celio, Ninane, Olivier,  & Schneider, 2018).
