WHAT IS A:CARE?
WHAT IS A:CARE?
A UNIQUE APPROACH TO IMPROVING ADHERENCE
As healthcare professionals, we recognize that adherence is not a one-time event but a repeated and ongoing health behavior. When patients struggle with adherence, they require support to change their behavior effectively. Utilizing theory-driven, evidence-based behavioral interventions can play a crucial role in positively influencing patient health outcomes.
The A:CARE program equips you with essential tools and techniques to improve adherence. We place strong emphasis on supporting the education of healthcare professionals and empowering patients to make positive changes in their behavior. Our approach involves gently nudging patients in the right direction, ensuring they can follow the advice and treatment prescribed by you, their healthcare provider.
