Compliance Packaging Assessment
Compliance and adherence is the cornerstone for medication safety.
About this service
The rationale behind dispensing medications in compliance packaging is to assist patients with self administration of their medication. Compliance packaging is one tool that can be used in treating certain disease states, addressing cognitive impairment and/or managing a large number of medications. In all cases, the basic objective is to achieve adherence to a prescribed administration schedule. Meeting this objective will benefit patient well-being and reduce costs to the health care system. The pharmacist as an effective, front line health care provider, has an important role to play. Compliance Packaging is a service that packages a week or a month supply of your medications into "blisters" for breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime. Blisters are marked with the day and time of each dose, making medication management easier. All regularly dosed prescription medications, over-the-counter medications such as ASA, vitamins and natural health products may also be included. Free delivery is available for all patients receiving this service.
