Definitions
Adherence Versus Compliance
Adherence and compliance are often used synonymously, but really have slightly different meanings. Compliance is defined as conforming to a physician’s advice and recommendations, whereas adherence is about following a physician’s advice and recommendations after a physician and patient have come to an agreement about the treatment plan (Ganiyu et al. 2013). Good adherence often refers to taking medication as prescribed, but it can also reflect following a physician’s advice about quitting smoking, exercising daily, and/or eating a healthy diet.
