Reviewing clinically equivalent options and utilization patterns can help hospitals better control pharmaceutical challenges while helping to ensure patient safety.
With the support of the organization’s administration, pharmacists can work with physicians to discuss when another (less expensive) drug—or a lower dose of the same drug–can be prescribed, thus lowering consumption and increasing annual savings.
By creating a pathway for pharmacists to have meaningful conversations with physicians about less expensive therapy, as well as providing access to the Finance Department for their reimbursement expertise, hospital executives can better manage rising drug costs.
