Addressing Cost of Medications
Online PICME
Patients are increasingly concerned about growing out-of-pocket prescription costs. Patients frequently do not bring up these concerns unless specifically asked. This activity encourages team-based strategies for addressing medication cost conversations.
- Evaluate the prevalence of cost concerns/medication cost-related non-adherence
- Incorporate a team-based approach to addressing cost of medications
- Adopt strategies to reduce medication costs available to patients in their geographic locations
The education and tools were developed based on validated instruments with input from family physicians. Use slide decks, speaker notes, and downloadable tools to engage your entire team in the effort and lead team training. Earn PICME credit following completion of a quality improvement project.
