Mobile Healthcare for Adherence: Business Considerations
نویسنده
چکیده
This work proposes a cost/benefit analysis for developing mobile healthcare solutions that could improve chronically ill outpatient adherence (also known as compliance) to prescribed medical regimens. The paper begins by briefly discussing the importance and consequences of insufficient patient adherence and the modalities of mobile information technology that could address this critical issue. Medical and non-medical savings are identified that could result from adherence-enhancing initiatives, balanced by investment and operating costs. The work substantiates the importance of business evaluation of any such initiative, and suggests directions for future research.
