> Dear Advocate for the Blind and Low Vision,

> We are excited to announce that Swedish Health Systems is now offering ScripTalk in four pharmacy locations.  See the list below my signature for more details about availability in Washington state or search online at http://www.envisionamerica.com/ourpharmacies <http://www.envisionamerica.com/ourpharmacies>
> Accessible prescription labels help patients and pharmacists to communicate more effectively and allow patients to safely and independently manage medications. The ScripAbility suite allows pharmacies to offer ScripTalk audible labels, ScripView large print labels, and Braille labels.  Each participating pharmacy offers one or more of these options. 
> 
> The ScripTalk label is embedded with a microchip and programmed with all the printed label data. The patient places the container onto a small hand-held reader or uses an Android NFC ScripTalk app to listen to the information.  Deaf-Blind users can request ScripTalk User software to export text to their Braille browser display. Patients who would like ScripTalk can participate in our Pharmacy Freedom Program that sends the ScripTalk Reader free of charge on a long-term loan for as long as a participating pharmacy is being used.  
> 
> ScripView is a large-print, booklet-style label attached to the prescription container. It provides easy access to the prescription label for those with low vision. The label contains all the same information as the pharmacy's regular label, but in large print, as well as a 2D barcode that can be scanned by an iOS device for an audible version using the ScripView app.
> 
> Braille label tape allows the pharmacy to add multiple lines of Braille to the medication container.
> 
> General information about the accessible label guidelines published by the US Access Board in July 2013 has been published under the title: “Best Practices for Making Prescription Drug Container Label Information Accessible to Persons Who are Blind or Visually-Impaired or Who are Elderly.”  The web address is: http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/health-care/about-prescription-drug-container-labels/working-group-recommendations <http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/health-care/about-prescription-drug-container-labels/working-group-recommendations>
> If you have questions about ScripAbility, want more information about accessible label guidelines, or need brochures to distribute, please do not hesitate to contact me.
