Great ideas, Paul. This quite obviously is the latent purpose of this program. Perhaps offered in conjunction with a library, or even hosted by a library with pharmacy professionals providing professional services, might be a little more patient friendly, rather than consumer friendly.

Hi Julie:
I like this idea, but would like the program much more if it was offered in partnership or monitored by a non-profit or other group that provided Rite Aid with specific guidelines on how to interact with participants.
A number of potential problems for consumers with limited verbal and/or reading skills immediately come to mind, such as:
1) conversion of prescriptions without a doctor's consent - or with consent based on difficult to understand conversion forms
2) enrollment in other programs without informed consent
...and on and on.
