Why is compliance packaging necessary?
Compliance packaging, also called medication adherence packaging, means that all medication a patient needs to take per day is safely stored in a medical-grade package. Discover why compliance packaging is necessary for all healthcare organizations:
1. Compliance packaging reduces the possibility of errors.
Juggling several different medication prescriptions can increase the chance of errors which, in turn, increases the risk of injury or death. By adhering to compliance packaging, you are protecting your patient’s health by minimizing (or eliminating) errors. Compliance packaging aims to be straightforward for both the patient and caregiver so there are no questions regarding when and what medication to take.
2. Compliance packaging provides a personalized approach to medication.
Every patient needs to have medication sorted and filled in a way that works best for them. That’s why Angus Lake Healthcare offers four different compliance packaging options:
1. Traditional packaging acts as a punch-out card with medication in each slot.
2. Pouch packaging is clear and provides straightforward labeling to reduce any errors.
3. Bottle packaging provides medication in a bottle, often taken by the patient to prolong their independence.
4. EasyRX packaging allows one month’s worth of medication to be available for a more independent individual.If you’re not sure which compliance packaging option would work best for your patient, don’t hesitate to call us: 478-233-1828.
3. Compliance packaging streamlines medication administration for caregivers.
Your patients’ caregivers have a lot on their plate, but compliance packaging can help streamline this task! By having all the medication in one package (for one patient), caregivers can be confident that the patient is receiving the right medication.
4. Compliance packaging promotes long-term health and wellbeing.
Disruption in medication can negatively affect a patient’s health. Whether your patients have chronic conditions or multiple conditions, the right medication can be the difference-maker in their quality of life. Compliance packaging increases the safety during medication distribution which can promote long-term health and wellbeing among patients.
