Increasing confidence in patient safety

Making patient safety a priority: Aegate launches SMS patient compliance service

 

Patient compliance is a known problem, which can reduce the effectiveness of treatments and potentially lead to further health problems for the patient.

Pharmacists are a fundamental part of health provision, and a number of studies have shown that pharmacist intervention can improve patient compliance.

Aegate's latest tool is designed to support pharmacists to help their patients take their medicines to the prescribed course of treatment.

About Aegate

The benefits of utilising Aegate's communication network are unique: usual communications are delivered only once, relying on the pharmacist’s memory and good staff communication when it comes to dispensing.

  • With Aegate, vital information will be repeated each and every time the item is dispensed, until the pharmacist is ready to turn the message off.
  • Pharmacists and their staff know instantly if a product is not suitable for dispensing. Real-time authentication confirms products are in date, not recalled and are genuine.
