Are uncontrolled chronic conditions in your facility higher than you’d like because patients aren’t following care plans? It’s easy to label them “noncompliant” or blame yourself for failing to connect—but neither view is entirely valid or helpful. This session presents data-driven strategies to better engage patients, including how the mere exposure effect can build trust and why sometimes trading “ideal” plans for practical alternatives is the most effective path toward improved outcomes.

Educational Objectives

• Analyze common causes of patient noncompliance
• Describe the mere exposure hypothesis and how it can be used to promote patient compliance
• Discuss methods to include patients in decision-making processes and improve investment in their care plans
