Learning Patient Adherence from the Clinical Narratives: A Thick Data Approach for Value Based Healthcare

Abstract

This paper presents a practice-based conceptual (theoretical) model to address therapy adherence. The paper uses the new notion of big data to describe of a model that can provide qualitative values for patient adherence and insights from the clinical narratives. This model has been designed to provide clinicians with a new approach to support the value based healthcare initiatives. The model is not fully tested as it is the next phase of the authors work.
