Adherence is driven by understanding. When patients feel confident about how to take their prescriptions, they’re more likely to stick with their treatment plan. Alternatively, if they’re given instructions that are overly complicated or in a language that is unfamiliar to them, they’ll likely struggle with compliance. Although your pharmacy is probably already exploring methods that increase adherence, you may be overlooking the simplest, but most vital piece of the puzzle – your patient education materials. Afterall, while enrolling in outreach programs can help, the materials you provide at checkout are the foundation for patient understanding. That’s why it’s essential that your medication education is clear, not complicated.
It's no secret that traditional medication instructions are often complex and are only offered in a few languages. As a result, many of your patients are probably walking away from your pharmacy counter confused about their prescriptions. While some stores utilize a translation service to better support their non-English speaking patients, it only solves a small portion of the problem. What pharmacies really need is a comprehensive solution that simplifies educational materials for every patient.
