Patient drug self-administration improves regimen compliance. 1978

L H D'Altroy, and H F Blissenbach, and D Lutz

Through a hospital's three-phase program, inpatients learned about their medications and gradually accepted responsibility for self-administration of these medications, for developing their schedules, and for adhering to their regimens. A postdischare follow-up study showed that the program had substantially improved patient compliance with medication regimens.
