Hi Scott,
Your interview on Point of Inquiry was excellent!
Question for you: I’ve started experimenting with the use of QR codes in education and it struck me that every prescription medication or OTC Rx for that matter should have a QR code on the label that would link the patient to a website that would have all of the information needed to take the drug safely. Do you think this is something that the Canadian pharmaceutical industry would consider?
I am a paramedic and when I look at a patient’s meds while en route to the hospital, it would also be nice to get instant information on the drugs with which I am not familiar.
cheers
