Session Description

Patients and providers today are faced with medication affordability challenges, compounded by the lack of visibility into the patient’s actual out of pocket cost when the provider is writing a prescription.  A new clinical decision support tool, Real-Time Prescription Benefit, delivers patient-specific drug benefit and cost information to the e-prescribing workflow at the point of care. With accurate, up-to-date, patient-specific information, providers can see a the price of the selected medication and quickly choose from available alternatives while remaining in the EHR workflow.  The best practice workflow designs, quantitative financial impact, and lessons learned will be discussed in an interactive manner with the audience.

• Understand how clinical decision support tools can help patients and providers manage medication affordability
• Learn about best-practice workflow designs embedded in the EHR for price transparency solutions
• Understand how to measure the quantitative and qualitative impact with this type of decision support solution and the results to date
