The prescription pain medication crisis is taking its toll across the U.S. Costs are extreme, with a broad array of collateral damage fanning out from those effected to families and industries, among the hardest hit, workman’s comp. So extreme are the effects of addictive and deadly prescription opioids, even the Federal Government has taken notice, with the CDC stepping in to release new opioid prescribing best practices earlier this year in hopes of ushering in a new era for an ailing nation. The issue is out in the open. Are you missing out on the opportunity to protect patients and break the pharmaceutical cost cycle with a lackluster pharmaceutical intervention program?
Not all drug utilization review programs are created equal
Traditional pharmaceutical intervention programs often yield poor results. Why? Insufficient “drug evaluations” yield sub-optimal analyses, neglecting to account for patient and prescriber history, co-morbidities, and other important factors. Peer-to-peer, phone-based approaches questioning treatment efficacies have the tendency to put doctors on the defensive or induce feelings of frustration over micro-management. Non-binding, verbal commitments lead to repeated calls regarding the implementation of reduced treatment protocols, and ultimately future “call-dodging.” Settlement dates are then repeatedly pushed out, with poor clinical outcomes resulting.
ANS’s proprietary Pharmacotherapy Review
Pharmacotherapy review processes built on the foundation of the intelligent and intimate collaboration of all vested parties produces superior results. How does ANS’s Pharmacotherapy Review fix what’s broken in the typical pharma intervention system?
- In-depth, in-person collaborations.
In-office visits with legal nurse experts featuring evidence-based, patient-centered treatment plans presented in a non-threatening manner increase openness to alternative therapies. - Clear guidelines.
Written, signed, collaborative agreements are established within 4-5 weeks, complete with detailed drug utilization changes curtailing costly pharma regimes, keeping all parties accountable and on the same page. - Patient-centered care.
Physician-directed care with the interest of the injured patient in-mind, including expert consultation, thorough review of medical history and prescription data, and clinically-proven drug alternatives reduce Payer costs and improve patient quality of life, decreasing the potential for drug related issues such as drug interactions and overdose. - Friendly follow-ups.
Doctors work with a dedicated CLO (Clinical Liason Officer) until settlement. Repetition of visits with an established legal nurse builds better relationships, allowing for amiable quarterly follow-ups regarding compliance and treatment evaluations, ensuring proper dosing modifications or weaning of medications. - Quantifiable impact (& performance guarantee).
The hard work accomplished by ANS representatives and collaborating parties is seen in post-meeting reporting, showing enhanced clinical and patient outcomes as well as reduced pharmaceutical treatment costs. In fact, ANS proprietary Pharmacotherapy Review program boasts:- A success ratio of 94% of all case referrals.
