You know. I checked the source (still checking) but it really seams what they did was give patients access to their notes, and then ASK them if that improved things.

How could this honestly be considered evidence that this is a good idea? This is the standard of evidence that a Homeopath would present.

Who could take this seriously? Patients reported taking their medication more regularly, here's an obvious question: Did they actually take their medication more regularly?

Maybe somewhere in the body this is answered. Let me keep looking.

edit: NO

  although self-reports fall short of objective data, open 
  notes may prove to be a simple intervention that has an 
  important effect on medication adherence.
Good, glad they lamp-shaded it.

oooooohhh. This makes more sense. This is a paid for study.

Why does this have 200 upvotes?
