You may qualify if…
- All patients who were at least 7 days overdue for a qualified prescription were identified on a weekly basis (i.e. every Monday morning) using the centralized computer database. A qualified prescription was defined as having at least 2 refills remaining, a duration of at least a 30 days' supply, and having been written for any one of a number of chronic disease medications identified by a clinical pharmacist (A.M.W.). The medications of interest were those indicated for chronic treatment of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart failure, depression, and psychoses. Medications that treat any combination of the specified diseases were allowed.
