non-adherence
Failure to follow
Non-adherence is failure to follow a prescribed course of action, most often used in medical contexts for patients who don't take medications as directed or follow treatment plans: Non-adherence to the drug regimen reduced its effectiveness.
The term is neutral compared to older terms like "non-compliance," which implied patient fault.
