Patient noncompliance, defined as a patient's failure to follow an agreed-upon prescribed plan of care, is a significant health problem, costing the U.S. healthcare system up to $290 Billion annually. Approximately $100 Billion of the patient noncompliance cost is due to preventable hospitalizations, since treatment was not followed as prescribed.
