Blistering medications Adherence Packaging Systems and Automation – a crucial issue!
Blistering of medications – Adherence Packaging Systems and Automation – i.e. individual packaging for each patient – is a main factor of effective process planning for pharmacies, hospitals, nursing homes and homes for the elderly and today an increasingly important service.
Blistering medicines – new opportunities for staff and patients!
According to recent studies, patient compliance with regard to prescribed medications is often not as good as one would hope. This is often due to the fact that industrially blistered medications lead to excessive demands, which mainly affect the older part of our society. In particular, the individual blistering of tablets is a strongly supportive tool here.
Since the working time in hospitals, as well as in old people’s homes and nursing homes, is characterized by a mostly too high work density and a great responsibility towards the patient, the working time that the responsible staff needs for sorting the medicines should rather be dedicated to the patient for nursing tasks. And it is precisely this advantage that is provided by blistering, which is individually tailored to the patient. In the USA and England, a large number of nursing homes are already developing innovative systems for the repackaging of medications.
Blistering – legal guidelines for blistering
The only institutions allowed to reblister medications from bulk drug packages are hospitals. However, for the benefit of patients, it was decided in 2006 that pharmacies also have the legal basis for blistering and can therefore offer customers patient-specific blistering.
