Area of Science:

  • Health Economics
  • Pharmacy Management
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Physicians require awareness of pharmacy utilization trends to control healthcare costs.
  • Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) increasingly focus on quality and cost-efficiency.
  • Data demonstrating quality improvements and enhanced patient knowledge are needed from PBMs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of physician awareness of pharmacy utilization methods on cost-effective treatment.
  • To assess the role of PBMs in promoting quality and patient knowledge.
  • To demonstrate the effectiveness of a collaborative pilot program between medical groups and PBMs.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot field-based pharmacy program was implemented.
  • Active intervention and cooperation strategies were employed between medical groups and PBMs.
