Message Technology
What it is
FDS' patient education programs are designed to educate and empower your patients.
- Point of Dispensing (POD) is patient-tailored messaging technology that produces
real-time printed educational information on standard paper from your pharmacy printer.
- Delivered by your pharmacy staff to the patient at the point-of-dispensing, POD
is the perfect way to educate your customer with the right message when they are
most likely to be thinking about their health.
- Content is sponsored by manufacturers and messages are tailored to motivate patient
behavior.
How it works
POD - Point of Dispensing technology analyzes each prescription event or dispensing
based on your specific program criteria.
- The criteria may include gender, age, NDC, market participation, geographic demographics,
and compliance or persistence variables.
- Printed material can be distributed for educational, product knowledge, drug availability
or market analysis purposes.
- POD may also be configured to produce mailable printed material directly from the
participating pharmacy’s practice management system.
The patient messaging output is letter-size, one or more plain paper pages that
print on your laser printer immediately following your label. The content encourages
your patients to become more compliant with their therapy and/or makes them aware
of clinically appropriate concomitant or alternative products. Patient messages
only print when there is an appropriate message available.
