Practical insights into PIL readability, bridging and Regulatory Affairs.
Readability Testing
QRD-compliant. But is it readable?
Compliance with the QRD template does not necessarily mean that patients will be able to find and understand the information they need. We explain where regulatory compliance ends and real-world readability begins.
Readability testing is not an exam that a leaflet needs to “pass”. We explain why a positive outcome matters, but what matters most is whether the information actually works for the patient.
Patients do not use a Word document. They use the finished leaflet. We explain why PIL graphic design is part of readability, not simply the final stage of document layout.
A regulatory-ready PIL is not always ready for testing with patients. We explain why it is worth looking at the leaflet from the user’s perspective before readability testing begins.
