An oral presentation by the University of Wisconsin Department of Family Medicine and Community Health’s (DFMCH) Paul Smith, MD, and the project’s principal investigator, Ken Schellhase, MD, MPH, “United States Pharmacopeia Patient-Centered Prescription Medication Label Standards and Medication Adherence,” was selected as one of three distinguished presentation from over 1000 submitted abstracts at the 2018 North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG) annual meeting, held November 9-13, 2018, in Chicago.
The abstract describes how a team from Wisconsin Health Literacy, in which Dr. Smith serves on as medical advisor, piloted revised prescription medication labels at 65 sites in five pharmacy organizations, and found an association between the more patient-centered prescription medication labels and increased medication adherence. (View original version of abstract here; the project later expanded to include a larger number of sites and organizations).
DFMCH research presented at NAPCRG also focused on addiction treatment, immunization and infectious disease surveillance, team communication and human factors engineering, refugee health, the role of prolotherapy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and other diverse aspects of primary care.
