Print on Demand can result in serious health threats to patients. It is subject to: 🖨️technical failure - printers failing 👨⚕️human error - pharmacist need to ensure the right leaflet is printed ❌chances of the leaflet being associated with the wrong medicine
In a 🌍without paper leaflets, access to digital tools is essential. However, even in countries with high smartphone usage such as Denmark🇩🇰, up to 25% of the population do not own a📱 ‼️ Paper leaflets are crucial to ensure equitable access to healthcare information ‼️
Print on Demand is not a good option for patient information leaflets: ❌Unworkable in practice ⚕️Imposes additional burdens on pharmacies 💸Cost impact is 2 to 3 times larger than the current system More on the risks of POD for pharmaceutical leaflets 👉shorturl.at/hA9lW
🌐📵 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
📢 Ensuring Patient Safety! Only 54% of Europeans have basic digital skills, making paper leaflets crucial. We urge policymakers to retain both paper & e-leaflets for inclusive healthcare. 🌟 @EU_Commission @EPPGroup @TheProgressives 🔗 [MLPS Manifesto](mlps-leaflet.org/_files/ugd/f3d…)
@IntergrafAISBL report aligns with MLPS! Print & digital both vital: 🌍 sustainability, 📚 reading, 📈 marketing, 🌐 digital divide. Read more: shorturl.at/irFGu
New study on public preferences on digital medicine info by @aesgp! Over 80% of respondents favoured physical leaflets for crucial information like dosage, uses, warnings, and side effects. Read more➡️ t.ly/LH_Wv #DigitalHealth #PatientEducation
A study published earlier this year sheds light on the significant financial implications of implementing print-on-demand (PoD) leaflets for medications across Europe. t.ly/hig-q
PoD for Med Info? Think Again! ❌ Burdens Pharmacists & costs! Regular printers risk errors! 📷 Separate leaflets get lost! Say NO to PoD! #PatientSafety Learn more: t.ly/hig-q
@IntergrafAISBL welcomes the release of a study by our partner @mlpsleaflet, a subgroup of @ECMAorg, shedding light on the potential economic costs associated with the proposed use of #PrintOnDemand (PoD). Read the report at: bpifcartons.org.uk/news/more/472/… #packaging #sutainability

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:
Our study reveals hidden costs of Print-on-Demand leaflets in revised Med. Dir.! PoD could cost €1.68-€3.49 billion annually across Europe! 🇪🇺 Who will bear these costs? #MedicinesDirective #PoD #ePI #HealthcareCosts Read more: t.ly/jvpo1
8+ billion prescriptions filled in the EU! Over 5 billion by people with NO digital skills. Time to bridge the #digitaldivide & ensure #healthcareforall with clear info (ePI AND printed leaflets). #prescriptiondrugs #eupatients

#MLPS welcomes ENVI Committee's approach to #ePIs in revised Medicines Directive! Patient safety paramount. Call for impact assessment on vulnerable populations, economic costs & environment. #PatientSafety #MedicinesDirective #PublicHealth (278 characters)
According to a case study set in France the cost to print a single PoD leaflet would be between 1,13 € and 2,13 €, depending on colours and printer used! 💶 💶 💶 This could add up to over 730 million € just in France alone. Read more about this here: t.ly/jvpo1
