ACCESSIBLEWORLD TEK TALK PRESENTS ANNA MCCLURE, A REPORT FROM ENVISION
AMERICA, MONDAY OCTOBER 7, 2013, 8 PM EDT, THE PAT PRICE ROOM:
WWW.ACCESSIBLEWORLD.ORG
NEWSWIRE:
En-Vision America has developed several new products in their ScripAbility
technology suite. ScripTalk, ScripView and BRL provide pharmacies with multiple
options for providing prescription label access to their patients. Now, users
can access important data via audible output, large print, and Braille.
Individuals with vision impairments are at risk for taking the wrong
medication, taking the wrong dosage, taking medications at the wrong time or
with wrong instructions. They can put their own health and safety at risk, as
well as any family members they may be caretakers for. Access to medicine label
information, including drug data, expiration dates and refill information is
critical for every individual.
The Americans with Disabilities Act was updated in 2010, with new and detailed
language. It specifically addresses what pharmacies are required to do in order
to provide access to services and offer auxiliary aids to blind and visually
impaired customers. Designed to be a supplement in helping pharmacies meet
requirements of ADA for their blind customers, the Food and Drug Administration
Safety and Innovation Act was signed into law in 2012. It set into motion the
formation of best practices, giving pharmacies a guideline on how to offer
required accommodations to their visually impaired patients in various formats.
Pharmacies across the country are now offering accessible label services to
their customers. The best news is that it is a free service for users. There is
no charge for a person to benefit from accessible prescription labels.
Also, i.d. mate Quest is now available on our no-interest payment plan. Like
New Summits, and Summit to Quest trade-ins can also be purchased on a payment
plan. You can have the unit in your hands now, and pay it off (interest free)
over a year.
For more information, to find a participating pharmacy, and to order an i.d.
mate Quest, contact En-Vision America at 1-800-890-1180.
