Participant Flow
A total of 250 patients were enrolled into the intervention group. However, only 244 patients could be matched to suitable controls, and 6 were therefore excluded from the analysis of results. Thus the number of patients recruited was 494 (250 intervention + 244 control), but results are presented for 488 (244 intervention + 244 control).
Participant milestones
| Measure |
PictureRx
Participants in the intervention group interacted with the PictureRx medication history platform on a tablet computer to provide information about their medications and verify their list of prescribed medications
|
Usual Care
Patients in the usual care group were matched on a 1:1 basis with intervention patients, on the basis of having received care in the same area of the Emergency Department by the same nurse. Their medication information was collected in the usual fashion by interview.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 1 weekPopulation: A convenience sample of 50 intervention patients was contacted by phone approximately 1 week after Emergency Department discharge to rate their understanding of their medication regimen.
Assessment of patient understanding of their medication regimen using 4 questions: 1. I understand what medicines I am supposed to take. 2. I understand how much medicine I am supposed to take at a time. 3. I understand what time of day to take each of my medicines. 4. I understand what each of my medicines is for. Participants had the following response options: Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neutral, Agree, Strongly Agree Due to formatting restrictions on this site and the results being nearly identical for each question, only answers to question 1 are reported below.
