MANAGED CARE RISK
Because prescribers are the primary source of prescription drugs in a managed care network, any efforts to reduce prescription drug abuse must begin with them, and must identify, engage, and monitor prescribers. The PSI Score™ model in the Managed Care Network risk solution delivers a composite score that includes the following elements of risk:
-
For a specific prescriber
-
For all patients being treated by a prescriber
-
For all pharmacies at which treated patients present a prescription
-
For all other prescribers treating the same patients
IDENTIFY those whose prescribing behaviors may contribute to prescription drug misuse, abuse, addiction, and diversion and stratify them by risk severity using the PSI Score™ model.
