What Does Compliance Mean? Compliance simply means that you follow the recommendations made by your team of healthcare professionals. These recommendations often include taking medications as well as making lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating right and getting the right kind of physical activity.Unfortunately, many people don't recognize the importance of following their doctor's advice. In fact, tens of thousands of deaths, increased hospitalizations and delays in recovery from illnesses occur each year because patients don't properly follow their doctor's advice. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can give you the edge in the fight against heart disease and stroke. Follow your doctor's advice carefully, and if you don't understand something, ask questions. Let your doctor be your coach. It's your health. It's your heart. Take an active part. Take our Compliance Quiz and find out how well you follow your healthcare professional's recommendations. This will help you focus your efforts on the things you need to do to improve your health. Make a commitment to improve and maintain your health. Print out the Compliance Pledge and take it to your next doctor's visit. When you and your healthcare providers sign a pledge together, it helps to open the lines of communication so you can better understand what you need to do to fight heart disease and stroke. |
