Hi Lucy, Blister packs in theory is a great idea however you have to look at the reality of the delivery system.
Thru my years of working in the camp health center at the camp I work at and working with some blister packs these are questions that I would ask.1. Is your camp a for or not for profit camp?
How long are the campers there? How many campers come in with
meds? Are the parents on a fixed income? Are the meds covered
by health insurance and if so will the health insurance cover the change in delivery systems? How much room will you have for storage? What delivery system do you have for your campers in camp and also on trips out of camp? What are the qualifications of the person despensing the Med. Why are you thinking of changing to blister packs? What specfic directions are you giving the parents prior in the pre camp mailing? How many campers are you dispensing meds to and what is their cognitive ability in taking them? I know I may not answer your question however if you and your camp can answer these questions the answers may help in coming up width your final descion. Sincerely Pat
