With over 12 million entities and 350 million relationships, Freebase is an excellent resource for performing text analysis. One way to look at document "understanding" is to think about how the entities in the document are connected on a knowledge graph. This is similar to the "reconciliation" process that is used to grow Freebase itself.
The web is currently full of semantic hints, whether they are explicit (like those promoted by the Semantic Web) or implicit (like the use of blog widgets.) Using these hints, text analytic methods can get a toe-hold on the web corpus at large.
Impact of social media on patient adherenceSilja Chouquet
Non-adherence to medication is common, with around 50% of patients failing to take their medication as prescribed. While traditionally seen as problematic, the document argues that non-adherence should be accepted as the norm given the challenges of lifelong treatment regimens. It presents research finding that patients in an online health community commonly report missing doses due to forgetting or feeling frustrated with side effects. However, engagement online also provides motivation, information, and social support that can improve adherence for some. The document calls for new approaches that empower patients and use digital tools to better support medication adherence in the real world.
The Role of the Pharmacy in Adherence Supporticapclinical
This document discusses the expanding role of pharmacists in supporting HIV treatment adherence. It provides examples of how pharmacists in Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, and South Africa work to enhance adherence through patient education, integrated appointment and pill count systems, visual analogue scales to assess adherence, and task-shifting some responsibilities to peer educators. The document also presents case studies demonstrating pharmacist interventions around medication counseling, drug interactions, pediatric dosing, and adherence barriers.
This document discusses medication adherence and strategies to improve it. Key points:
- Medication non-adherence leads to 125,000 deaths annually and costs $300 billion per year.
- Goals of adherence include establishing trusting patient relationships, engaging patients in their therapy, and providing follow-up care.
- Causes of non-adherence include not filling prescriptions, not refilling on time, missing doses, or stopping medication early.
- Pharmacists should communicate simply with patients, reinforce benefits, educate on medications, confirm understanding, and follow-up after therapy starts to achieve therapeutic success.
Individuals are not willing to pay more for medical house calls. The researchers validated that there is enough supply of nurse practitioners and others to support a house calls business model. However, the key lessons were that people prefer alternatives like primary care or emergency rooms over house calls, and improving drug compliance can help reduce hospital readmissions. The researchers then pivoted their model and value proposition to focus on helping hospitals reduce readmissions rates and increase profits through improving medication compliance and patient follow ups after discharge.
