Meducation® Integrated with PioneerRx to Improve Medication Adherence
Polyglot Systems, Inc.’s Meducation® software has been
integrated with the PioneerRx Pharmacy Management System to allow pharmacists
to create and deliver easy-to-follow medication instruction from within their
existing workflows. The joint offering overcomes
a problem that has long plagued pharmacists and their patients: confusing medication
instructions that undermine proper medication use.
Standard medication instructions are often written
at elevated reading levels, printed in small font sizes and available only in
English. Since nearly one out of every
three Americans is “low health literate” and struggles to understand their medication
instructions, this contributes to the widespread problem of poor medication
adherence.
Meducation improves medication adherence by providing
medication instructions that:
- Are tailored to the patient with his or her unique instructions,
- Are written at a 5th-to 8th grade reading level,
- Are available in any of 22 different languages,
- Use pictures to convey information clearly, and
- Are augmented by video demonstrations of proper use for certain devices
About Polyglot Systems Polyglot Systems’ award-winning Meducation software was developed under a grant from the National Institutes of Health to address the communication barriers between healthcare providers and their patients. By improving patient understanding, medication adherence and overall patient health are improved, reducing healthcare costs and increasing patient satisfaction. Polyglot’s products have been licensed to hospitals, health systems, clinics and pharmacies.
