Differentiate Your Pharmacy

With adherence packaging and automation, your pharmacy will have the tools to reach its full business potential and become a healthcare center of excellence for patients.

Adherence Packaging - Why it’s Important

Adherence packaging has been proven to significantly improve medication adherence in patients. Multimed blister cards clearly organize multiple medications in an easy-to-follow format, providing instant visual reinforcement of what to take and when, thus helping patients understand complex medication regimens.

This is important for your pharmacy because many of your patients likely have several chronic diseases that require multiple medications over a period of time. If you want them to take their medications in a consistent and effective manner, add this solution to your pharmacy.

Offering adherence packaging, along with the appointment based model is a great way to ensure you are tracking and improving patient health outcomes.

Promoting medication adherence by offering multimed blister cards puts your pharmacy ahead of the competition. The below benefits explain how.

• Reduces the burden of sorting medications for the patient or caregiver

• Keeps your patients on the right dosing schedule

• Assists your patients if they have had past trouble with bottles

• Creates a better relationship between the pharmacist and patient

MULTIMED BLISTER CARDS

SureMed® by Omnicell® multimed blister cards clearly organize multiple medications in an easy-to-follow format, providing instant visual reinforcement of what to take and when. The cards come two ways: standard or perforated; therefore, you have the option to choose what is most convenient for your pharmacy and for your patients.

Having SureMed cards at your pharmacy drives improved adherence because the packaging and labeling of multiple medications in a disposable blister card is clear and easy-to-understand. The 7-day / 28 dose card has four time passes for each day, making it ideal for patients on five or more chronic prescriptions and ones that have more complex medication regimens.

Think about this as a whole suite of adherence offerings for your patients. By adopting the appointment based model, offering medication synchronization and MTM, you are able to augment the effectiveness of those tools with the proven adherence benefits of multimed blister cards.
