    Area of Science:

    • Pharmaceutical Sciences
    • Health Communication
    • Patient Education

    Background:

    • Verbal communication of prescription drug information is often inadequate.
    • Patients may not receive, attend to, understand, accept, or remember verbal information.
    • Written communication also faces similar processing challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the necessity of patient package inserts (PPIs).
    • To explore the roles of consumer rights-to-know and patient health education.
    • To analyze the limitations of verbal communication in healthcare.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of communication processing stages.
    • Analysis of verbal and written information delivery.
    • Consideration of consumer surveys and demonstration projects.

    Main Results:

    • Verbal communication failures occur at multiple stages of processing.
    • Written patient package inserts (PPIs) are desired and effective for conveying drug information.
    • PPIs reinforce and augment verbal consultations.

    Conclusions:

    • Both written (PPIs) and verbal communication are necessary for effective patient education.
    • PPI implementation may present challenges for pharmacists but can enhance their clinical role.
    • Patient package inserts support the "consumers' right-to-know" and improve health literacy.
