Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route01:29

Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route

381
The parenteral route is a critical method of drug administration. It delivers compounds directly into the systemic circulation and bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. This approach is particularly advantageous for drugs that exhibit poor absorption or instability when administered orally.
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...

Patient-centered Care

1.9K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Education
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Patient information leaflets (PILs) are legally mandated in medicine packaging globally.
  • Current PILs present challenges in terms of accessibility and environmental impact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and user acceptance of employing quick response (QR) codes for delivering electronic patient information leaflets (ePILs).

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-method study utilizing surveys was conducted at Tshwane District Hospital.
  • Data collected included demographics, scanning ability, and willingness of 330 patients and 16 pharmacy staff to use QR codes.
  • Focus groups with 18 regulatory affairs pharmacists evaluated the ease of QR code implementation.

Main Results:

  • Over 80% of patients, regardless of age or gender, were willing and able to scan QR codes, with a majority preferring ePILs or a hybrid format.
  • Patients reported high ease of reading and locating information on ePILs (p < 0.001).
  • Pharmacy staff and regulatory pharmacists also found ePILs easy to use and preferred digital or hybrid formats, noting ease of QR code creation.

Conclusions:

  • Patients, pharmacy staff, and regulatory affairs pharmacists demonstrate a willingness to transition to ePILs.
  • QR code-based ePIL delivery presents a viable, eco-friendly solution for real-time information updates.
