The new Durable Display at Discharge (3D) tool improved patient understanding of medications compared to the standard Medication Discharge Worksheet (MDW), though both showed high satisfaction and few errors.

Area of Science:

  • Health Sciences
  • Patient Education
  • Medication Safety

Background:

  • Hospital discharge presents challenges for patients managing complex multi-drug regimens.
  • Current patient education tools like the Medication Discharge Worksheet (MDW) show suboptimal patient understanding, satisfaction, and safety.
  • A novel tool, the Durable Display at Discharge (3D), was developed to enhance medication communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of the Durable Display at Discharge (3D) tool against the standard Medication Discharge Worksheet (MDW).
  • To evaluate improvements in patient satisfaction, medication understanding, and self-reported medication errors.

Main Methods:

  • An exploratory, randomized trial involving 138 patients was conducted.
  • Patients were interviewed via telephone 7-14 days post-discharge by blinded survey personnel.

  • Outcomes measured included patient satisfaction, medication understanding, and self-reported errors.

    • Main Results:

    • Both the 3D tool and MDW were associated with high patient satisfaction.
    • Both tools demonstrated low rates of self-reported medication errors.
    • Patients using the 3D tool showed significantly greater understanding of their medications.

    Conclusions:

    • The Durable Display at Discharge (3D) tool shows promise in enhancing patient comprehension of medication regimens.
    • While satisfaction and error rates were similar, the 3D tool's impact on understanding warrants further investigation.
    • The 3D tool may represent a valuable advancement in patient discharge education.
