Dear Deanna,

 The scope of improving compliance amongst healthcare professionals is indeed something very vast. You need to know specifically which behaviour you wish to change in these professionals in order to obtain a positive result.

 For example, if you wish to improve adherence to a certain protocol that improves the way doctors tweak the dose of a particular medication, it would be wise to look into intrinsic motivation of a physician (according to literature, improvements in positive affect of physicians, will in turn improve medical decision making).

 Hence, I would suggest that you identify which context you wish to intervene so that it would be effective in improving compliance (as in my case, it would be improving intrinsic motivation).

 Hope this helps.

Not really an article but I know it has been recommanded that diabetic patients would enter the rom of the doctor bare feet  systematically... which is not implemented.

In the diabetic center of the meuhedet fund,the nurses among other tasks are quite systematically checking the feet.Unfortunately,till now their results were not included in the medical computarised file but only in the nurse computarised file.

I hope this will be changed . Anyway when there is a wound ,the nurse at the diabetic center quite sysrematically  refer the patient to the wound clinic.

As you see something is done but there is still a long way to go.

Hi,

See, "Value-Driven Business Process Management in Healthcare Settings". This paper describe some ideas about how to undestand care-flows in healthcare settings.
