Using En-Vision<br>America’s ScripTalk product, Hy-Vee pharmacists are able to program and place a small electronic tag on the prescription package, typically located on<br>the bottom of the bottle. The tag contains all of the prescription label information. By scanning the label with either a ScripTalk reader (provided to<br>each patient at no cost) or the free ScripTalk mobile app, patients can have all of their information read aloud. This information includes drug name,<br>dosage, instructions, warnings, pharmacy information, doctor’s name, prescription number, date and more. ScripTalk can assist patients with low vision,<br>blindness, dyslexia or other reading disabilities.<br>In addition to English, the talking prescription labels can be translated to 25 other languages upon request. Patients who request this option will receive<br>large-print dual-language prescription labels that feature a high contrast font in English, as well as a translation from one of the 25 other languages.<br>These labels can also be read aloud in the selected language via the free ScripTalk reader or free ScripTalk mobile app. View the complete list of available<br>languages below.<br>“We are on a mission to make health care services more accessible for our patients,” said Kristin Williams, executive vice president and chief health officer<br>for Hy-Vee. “Through our partnership with En-Vision America, we now offer a solution to help improve the health outcomes for our visually- and print-impaired<br>patients, along with our non-English speaking patients who often face language barriers to health care.”<br>“At En-Vision America, patient safety is paramount. For individuals who have trouble reading their prescription labels, the dangers of mistakes and hospitalizations<br>are real,” said David Raistrick, president of En-Vision America. “We’re very excited to partner with Hy-Vee — a company that recognizes the need to bolster<br>medication safety and independence for patients with print impairments or speak English as a second language.”<br>To enroll in ScripTalk’s talking prescription labels program, Hy-Vee Pharmacy patients should contact their local Hy-Vee Pharmacy.<br>Languages available via ScripTalk talking prescription labels at Hy-Vee: <br>list of 27 items<br>• Amharic<br>• Arabic<br>• Bengali<br>• Burmese<br>• Chinese (simplified)<br>• Chinese (traditional)<br>• English<br>• Farsi<br>• French<br>• German<br>• Greek<br>• Haitian<br>• Creole<br>• Hindi<br>• Italian<br>• Korean<br>• Nepali<br>• Pashtu<br>• Polish<br>• Portuguese<br>• Romanian<br>• Russian<br>• Somali<br>• Spanish<br>• Swahili<br>• Tagalog<br>• Vietnamese <br>list end<br>Hy-Vee, Inc. is an employee-owned corporation operating more than 285 retail stores across eight Midwestern states with sales of more than $12 billion<br>annually.
