| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding the use of compliance aid devices. Introduction: Many patients suffer from chronic conditions and this sometimes may lead to mismanagement and non-compliance towards their drug therapy. Furthermore medication errors may lead to higher costs, since healthcare services may be needed so as to manage the side-effects and the health repercussions caused by the mismanagement of patient’s therapy. Aim: To analyse the practicality, rate of compliance and cost-effectiveness of the three devices which were chosen to be studied for this project in a community pharmacy setting. The devices were: the ‘Pill Splitter’, the ‘Multi Dose Pill Box’ and the electronic ‘Pill Box Reminder’. |
