The premise
AI can turn a prescription label and dosing schedule into a counseling script the pharmacist reviews before the patient hears it.
What AI does well here
- Translate sig codes into plain-language steps
- Generate 'what to do if you miss a dose' guidance from the medication's known profile
- Offer reading-level controls so the script lands at sixth-grade reading level
What AI cannot do
- Substitute for the pharmacist's verbal counseling
- Detect interactions the chart did not flag
- Decide whether a patient needs additional MTM follow-up
