Prescription Test Project Targets State Employees
Medco Health Solutions is beginning a new pilot project to provide medication help to Illinois state employees with diabetes, heart disease, lung problems, or nerve disorders.
The study will monitor prescriptions to make sure the patients follow their doctors' orders, noting when recommended drugs have not been prescribed and sending an electronic alert to pharmacists. Research shows that more than 25,000 state employees and relatives may not be taking needed medications or following doctors' orders. The goal of this new, 26-week study is to deliver better care at a lower cost.
