Enhancing Affordability for Patients through High-Value Prescribing

INTRODUCTION TO ENHANCING AFFORDABILITY FOR PATIENTS THROUGH HIGH-VALUE PRESCRIBING

As we have discussed throughout the first two sets of modules, delivering high-value care requires transformations at every level of care delivery, including system redesign and supportive health policies. We can be advocates for and leaders of systems-level shifts toward high-value care provision, but we can also make key changes in our individual practices that are highly impactful. This collection (Modules 6 and 7) will focus on how we as individual clinicians can improve value at the bedside through simple practices in prescribing (Module 6) and communicating (Module 7) with patients.
