| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
ScripTalk(R) Talking Prescriptions will provide the ability for VA points
of care to purchase and distribute adaptive equipment to patients who are
unable to read the traditional label on prescription bottles. This patch
provides a way to print to a microchip-embedded label that can be applied
to a medication bottle. When the label is held next to a ScripTalk(R)
reader, the reader will read the contents of the label aloud to the
patient. This improves patient safety for patients with substantial loss
of vision as it allows them to safely determine the contents and
administration schedules of their medications.
This patch contains routines, new options, new Data Dictionary fields, and
ScripTalk(R) is a registered trademark of En-Vision America.
In addition to the ScripTalk changes, this patch corrects some laser
labels formatting problems in the warning label and method of pick-up
sections.
NOTE: As part of the laser labels corrections, the utility routine that
was used in patch PSO*7*141 has been modified. A correction for the return
mail initialization control code in the TERMINAL TYPE file (#3.2) has been
added. Once the patch is installed, run the routine PSOLLU3 in programmer
documentation for implementing the ScripTalk(R) 'talking' prescription
mode. Once you have updated all current laser label devices, the routine
may be deleted.
labels functionality, which will greatly benefit visually impaired
veterans.
Thanks to Rob Silverman at Hines for his extensive research and
development work for a class III solution, upon which this patch is based.
