Pharmaceutical labeling contains important product information that helps enable appropriate prescribing decisions to be made, as well as the safe and effective use of prescribed products. With patients increasingly involved in their own healthcare decisions and outcomes, there is a need to develop patient-focused product information that is both understandable and accessible across a varied group of product end-users. This session will describe insights and approaches to creating patient centric pharmaceutical labeling and supporting development of health literacy across users of patient product information to help ensure engagement and understanding of patients who use our products.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Describe the opportunities and challenges of patient-centric drug labeling for all stakeholders
- Describe best practices in developing and implementing patient-centric drug labeling
- Describe the value of health literacy in creating effective patient-centered labeling
