Creighton Family Medical is not limiting Rex to only those who are current patients. For a small fee, anyone can bring their medications into the pharmacy and have the medication transferred into a Rex bottle. Dorraine Reynolds, Pharm.D., serves as director of Outpatient Pharmacies for Creighton University Medical Center and assistant professor of Pharmacy Sciences in Creighton University's School of Pharmacy and Health Professions. Her desire to improve medication use led her to bringing the Rex system into the pharmacy. "We have many patients who do not speak English," said Dr. Reynolds, "and some cannot read their native languages. There may be a way that we can use Rex along with a translator to provide better medication instructions for them." "I am excited about the potential for helping our patients who cannot read a traditional prescription label either because they cannot see the label or because they are unable to read," she added. Reynolds noted that of all assistive technologies Hardware and software that help people who are physically impaired. Often called "accessibility options" when referring to enhancements for using the computer, the entire field of assistive technology is quite vast and even includes ramp and doorway construction in buildings to support that aid in medication management, she believed the Rex system to be the most cost-effective to use in the pharmacy. Rex can assist anyone who has difficulty reading or understanding their medication instructions, by "reading" the instructions to the patient out loud. The instructions can be the actual label information or any other message that is helpful to the patient. The patient needs only to use a button on the side of the bottle to activate the voice recording. "CUMC and Dr. Reynolds are realizing the full potential of Rex with their planned application of Rex beyond just patients who are visually impaired" said Gene Franz, General Manager, Solutions and Channels for MedivoxRx. "Overcoming language and literacy barriers can be a benefit to a great number of individuals whose medication safety could otherwise be compromised."
