🌐📵 Limited access to internet or smartphones and lack of skills hinder access to e-leaflets, leaving patients without access to crucial healthcare information To ensure patient safety, we need a balanced approach with both paper and e-leaflets More 👉 shorturl.at/Es0lE

Are we ready to eliminate paper leaflets? Shifting to digital-only options could leave many patients at risk, especially those without digital access. Print on Demand sounds good, but it brings added costs and potential safety issues. . #PatientSafety #DigitalInclusion

Myth busted! PoD is NOT the answer for medication leaflets ‍♀️ - Puts strain on pharmacies, raising costs ️ - Risk of errors with desktop printers = patient safety risk - Separate leaflets = higher chance of getting lost linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

There's an environmental impact when anything is accessed online - including ePIs. The global digital ecosystem is said to emit twice as much as all air travel! While a full comparison of ePI vs paper leaflets is still needed, here are some things to consider:

Repost: In light of our most recent study on Print-on-Demand leaflets these DESI numbers become even more relevant! ❗ They show that there will be a high demand for PoD - high enough to not make the system economically feasible.
