Reimagining the future of electronic medication information and patient engagement ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL Harvard DCI Retreat Cabot Science Library Cambridge MA 23 June 2023 www.dcinetwork.org Retreat Program & Information
Our Mission Why does this matter
Medication information can be complex, and many patients struggle to understand the printed medication package inserts currently available. The one-size-fits-all approach does not effectively address diverse health literacy needs, leaving some patients without the necessary understanding to take their medications safely.
Providing all patients with accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensible medication information is essential to ensure patient safety and promote equity. Collaboration among stakeholders within the healthcare ecosystem, including non-profit organizations, patient advocates, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies and policy makers, is crucial to address this concern.
By working together, we can generate the best ideas, harness the potential of digital health technologies, and standardize display formats and distribution methods. Creating accessible, comprehensible, and culturally sensitive medicine information resources through joint efforts is vital in guaranteeing that no patient is left behind.
