One Hand Washes The Other - Insight Into Medical Compliance
Now At AlignMap1 - Dirty Doctors, Noncompliance, and Freakonomics
The AlignMap post, Compliance Is Compliance Is Compliance, discusses and references a New York Times column that eventually encompasses a South Seas cruise ship, squirts of Purell, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the 1847 Ignaz Semmelweis discovery about mortality rates in maternity clinics, $10 Starbucks gift card incentives, petri dish cultures transformed into screensavers, and protective shields of silver ion particles, all in the service of compliance enhancement.

Footnotes
- AlignMap is my professional web site and blog that focus on patient compliance, also known as adherence to treatment ~back~
a coat of betadine dried on the hands looks dirty but
kills germs - also what about a pocket full of sterile
exam gloves - wouldn’t changing them evry time you should
wash hands be quicker and more effective -

Sorry - I must have somehow triggered the WordPress glitch that disappeared the AlignMap post temporarily.
It’s all better now.
