Educating Physicians

HID has implemented a patient-focused education program designed to provide recipients with information about safe and effective use of prescription medications. We have developed special patient education materials for this purpose covering several classes of medications, with materials for additional classes in development. Patient-focused profiling is performed to identify patients who can benefit from receipt of these educational materials. Medicaid is utilizing this program to educate asthma sufferers in Alabama.

Academic detailing is a specialized method of physician education. Pharmaceutical manufacturers spend huge amounts of money “detailing” physicians about their drug products, and spend this money willingly because it is a cost effective program. Health Information Designs has a long successful history of educating physicians, and carrying the message into the physician’s offices is a logical step, if the financial resources to do so are marshaled. This type of investment in physician education has been shown to be cost effective.
