This technology is a web-based application that provides patients with personalized information about their prescriptions and assesses patients’ knowledge of their prescriptions.
Recipients of solid organ transplants (SOTs) are often placed on a challenging medication regimen following a transplant. These regimens frequently include a medley of prescriptions that require different dosages and administration times and as such this presents a challenge to patients who lack expertise in pharmacotherapy. Because failure to adhere to these complicated regimens is associated with poor outcomes, there is a clear need to educate patients on their prescriptions after SOT. Furthermore, medical personnel may not always be on hand to advise homebound patients.
This technology is a web-based application that provides patients with personalized information about their prescriptions following a transplant. Patients are trained through brief videos on the indications, dosages, adverse effects, and drug interactions of their prescribed medications. In addition, this application contains assessments to track a patient’s knowledge of their prescriptions as the patient progresses through the educational content.
Published studies indicate that this platform significantly enhances patients’ understanding of their prescriptions.
