Here’s a CSUN Session you won’t want to miss! David Raistrick from En-Vision America will
present a talk on prescription accessibility at CSUN’s 29th Annual International Technology and
Persons with Disabilities Conference in San Diego.
- Title: ScripAbility: Implementing the ADA & FDA Safety & Innovations Act
- Date: Friday, March 21, 2014
- Time: 4:20 PM
- Location: Old Town B
Synopsis: In 2010,
the Department of Justice amended language in the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA). Pharmacies are expressly named under the act and are obligated to
provide auxiliary aids and services where necessary to ensure effective
communication to individuals with disabilities. In addition, the recent FDA Safety and
Innovations Act directs the National Council on Disability to undertake an
awareness campaign to inform the public (and pharmacies) of recent U.S. Access
Board’s “best practices”. We’ll provide
review of these best practices and how ScripAbility
technology is helping pharmacists help their patients. More than 100
independent and chain pharmacies are already offering varying components of
this system, benefiting all participants. As more pharmacies are learning how to
implement federal laws into their services, there is an increase in individuals
who are now able to access prescription label information. ScripAbility facilitates
pharmacies to comply with ADA statutes, and assists the blind in finding safe,
private and independent management of their medications.
