Medication Management and the Myth of Patient Empowerment
from Microdosing · host Paul Schrimpf
All around you, Healthcare leadership continues to lean on familiar solutions: more education, more empowerment, more reminders to improve adherence. It sounds polite,nonthreatening, and promising. But it’s also a comfortable excuse that obscures a deeper, systemic failure. Because the truth is: medication adherence—our most basic measure of patient engagement—remains stubbornly low. Despite decades of well-meaning interventions, the problem persists. This isn’t a patient failure. It’s a system failure.
