Description
Summary:To date, little is known regarding the characteristics of the population who use ScripTalk and the efficacy of the ScripTalk system in terms of the rate of hospitalization. [...]the primary aim of this study was to describe the overall characteristics of the population who use ScripTalk in terms of their specific demographics and patterns in medication use, as well as to identify characteristics of subjects who use ScripTalk in terms of hospitalization rates. Pillboxes appeared to be the most common choice, and their use may have a synergistic role with the use of ScripTalk. [...]use of a pillbox in addition to ScripTalk appeared to improve hospitalization rates.
