NCPIE: National Council on Patient Information and Education
Description
Hello, I'm Phillip Schneider. I am pleased to welcome you to the National Council on Patient Information and Education (NCPIE) web site. NCPIE is a coalition of over 125 diverse organizations whose mission is to stimulate and improve communication of information on appropriate medicine use to consumers and healthcare professionals. NCPIE is the nation's leading authority for informing the general public and health care professionals on safe medicine use through better communication. Better medicine communication can lead to better health outcomes and improved quality of life.
Today, consumers are more responsible for their own decisions - especially when it comes to taking care of their health. For nearly 25 years, NCPIE has been at the forefront in promoting information sharing among consumers, prescribers, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals.
Two out of every three visits to the doctor ends with a prescription being written. Over 3 billion prescriptions are dispensed yearly. While taking medicines is very common, it's not always easy to take them correctly. Our web site www.talkaboutrx.org is designed to help consumers make sound decisions about a very important part of good health: use of medicines. NCPIE provides here necessary information to support consumers' safe medicine use.
