problem. <\/em>These people are striving to make everything<em> work <\/em>better, in <em>our <\/em>hands.<\/p>\n<p><em><\/em>After 150 events in two years (medical conferences, tech events, policy meetings), I&#8217;ve concluded that medicine&#8217;s single most important dysfunction is<strong> the idea that useful wisdom comes only from biology<\/strong>\u00a0(or other medical innovations), and it&#8217;s up to us to use whatever they danged well give us, containing that received wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>So when patients don&#8217;t do what they&#8217;re told, it&#8217;s a &#8220;compliance&#8221; problem &#8211; and people in healthcare bitch about how irresponsible we are. Even the October <em>Health Leaders<\/em>\u00a0magazine had <a href=\"http:\/\/newmed.media.mit.edu\/post-operative-management-application\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a> near the start &#8211; in its &#8220;Patient Engagement&#8221; issue!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In our annual Industry Survey, leaders cite <strong>patient noncompliance and lack of responsibility<\/strong> as the fifth-greatest driver of healthcare costs at their organizations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meh! How about you guys get your act together and <em>give us methods that work for us?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I mean, seriously: in what other industry can they respond to &#8220;This is hard to use&#8221; and &#8220;I don&#8217;t like doing this&#8221; by saying &#8220;You&#8217;re just not good enough for our wonderful inventions&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>I used to work in software companies that tried that approach. They went out of business when innovators came along who understood that <em>easy to use gets done better, and people like it more<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>A great example is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vitality.net\/glowcaps.html\" target=\"_blank\">GlowCaps<\/a> &#8211; a pill bottle cap that <em>glows, beeps, or texts you <\/em>when it&#8217;s time to take your pills.

If you&#8217;re a Twitter fiend, follow those hashtags and let the innovators know what you like.<\/p>\n<p>p.s. Anyone who wants to complain about patient &#8220;compliance,&#8221; please remember that the shoe&#8217;s on the other foot with clinician &#8220;quality&#8221;: hospital workers only wash hands per protocol about half the time, physicians prescribe the standard of care only half the time. The result, as Susannah Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/participatorymedicine.org\/epatients\/archives\/2011\/12\/world-aids-day.html\" target=\"_blank\">blogged<\/a> about Peter Margolis, is that &#8220;.5 x .5 = .25&#8221;
