چکیده
In 2017, an estimated 85% of Medicare Part D regional prescription drug plans will offer preferred pharmacy networks (Fein, 2016). Prescription plans other than Medicare Part D have also been moving to preferred networks. A preferred pharmacy network offers patients a choice of pharmacies but provides financial incentives to use a preferred pharmacy. It is not clear whether the plans choose preferred pharmacies on factors other than unit costs. However, a lack of comparative quality data likely results in plans using unit costs as the primary deciding factor. However, pharmacies with higher unit costs, but better medication adherence rates may result in lower total health care costs along with better patient care. This article describes research conducted to compare medication adherence rates among pharmacy chains in a large city in the South Central United States.

متن کاملShrink-film configurable multiscale wrinkles for functional alignment of human embryonic stem cells and their cardiac derivatives.
A biomimetic substrate for cell-culture is fabricated by plasma treatment of a prestressed thermoplastic shrink film to create tunable multiscaled alignment "wrinkles". Using this substrate, the functional alignment of human embryonic stem cell derived cardiomyocytes is demonstrated.
