QS/1 said its pharmacy management software offers a label for medication adherence packaging.
The QS/1 M108 label is formatted to work with the IntegralRx packaging and includes the patient’s name, drug, a picture of the drug for easy identification, and warning messages. A picture of the patient can also be printed on the label, executives said.
“Pharmacists can play a crucial role in improving the compliance rates of their patients,” said Ed Vess, QS/1’s Director of Pharmacy Professional Affairs. “Using the M108 label routine, pharmacies can fill a variety of medications, along with directions for use, and apply them to the specialized medication adherence packaging.”
Special packaging is available through IntegralRx™, and a pharmacy can print and apply the M108 label to the compliance packaging and deliver it to the patient.
The special packaging and detailed label is an additional reminder to patients on what prescriptions to take and what time to take them, executives said.
“Medication adherence goes beyond not taking the prescribed medications,” Vess said. “It’s also about taking the medication exactly as prescribed by the doctor. This label routine is available in PrimeCare and NRx using the Nursing Home Module so pharmacies can use it with the packaging to help increase patient compliance.”
