ADHD and Compliance
Just a quickie. Dr. Brian Doyle from ADHD Spotlight has a good post on compliance at his blog: http://www.drbriandoyle.com/?p=238.
I am Alex Sicre, Director of Corporate Development for Intelecare Compliance Solutions, a healthcare technology company focused on enhancing patient medical adherence.
This blog contains my own thoughts about this pandemic, as well as the healthcare industry, pharmaceutical industry, HIT and the Health 2.0 movement. This blog does not reflect the views of Intelecare nor our clients.
Sometimes I will throw in some personal anecdotes, and my own experiences as an e-patient who takes maintenance medications, has a wife and two sons.
