Medication Reminder Service
Remind Seniors To Take Their Medication
Database Systems Corp. (DSC) is a leading provider of computer telephony software and phone technology including telephone reassurance phone systems that contact homebound residents to ensure their well-being.
CARE (Call Reassurance) is a community calling program that checks on the well-being of senior citizens as well as contacting home alone children, ensuring that they are OK.
But CARE can do more than check on the well-being of residents.
Employing our advanced calling technology, DSC can deliver medication reminders in just minutes to seniors and homebound patients. A recorded message can be delivered to either answering machines or to individuals reminding subscribers to take their prescription medication.
According to a recent U.S. Department Of Health and Human Resources study:
"Only 50-60 percent of patients are adherent in taking prescribed medicines. Non-adherence is particularly concerning in patient populations with a high prevalence of chronic conditions.
Medication non-adherence costs an estimated $100 billion annually in the United States and accounts for 10 percent of hospital admissions." (1)
DSC provides subscription reminder services for individuals as well as phone systems that deliver call reminders. These reminders can be customized for each senior including special instructions.
Custom information for each patient (such as name, medication type, prescription dosage, number of times per day, etc.) can be included in these medication reminder messages.
Contact DSC to learn more about our CARE phone systems that include medication reminders for senior citizens.
Medication Reminder Presentation
How Does This Service Work?
Our CARE service calls senior citizens (on the days and times they specify) and greets them with a
recorded message. Seniors are instructed to "Press 1" to acknowledge the calls.
If after several attempts a senior does not answer the phone or acknowledge the call, our program will automatically call the designated contact(s), playing an
alert message, and send email alerts as well. Two contacts can be designated and CARE will alternately call each one until the call is acknowledged (for up to 1 hour).
CARE provides a complete log of activity including the status of each call as well as schedule changes.
DSC provides an easy and secure sign-up procedure (For a quick overview, please visit the registration information web page).
