Patient-centered care (i.e., involving patients and their families in planning their health care) is increasingly emphasized as a promising approach for improving medication adherence, but clinician education around what this might look like in a busy primary care environment is lacking. We use a case study to demonstrate key skills such as motivational interviewing, counseling, and shared decision-making for clinicians interested in providing patient-centered care in efforts to improve medication adherence. Such patient-centered approaches hold considerable promise for addressing the high rates of non-adherence to medications for chronic conditions.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0HumansHypertensionChronic DiseasePhysician-Patient RelationsDecision MakingMiddle AgedPatient-Centered CarePrimary Health CareFemaleMedication AdherenceMotivational InterviewingPractice Patterns, Physicians'Outcome and Process Assessment, Health CareJournal article
