more attention to following treatment guidelines
March 2008
You'll see more attention to following treatment guidelines...to determine which meds and services are covered by health plans.
More extended-health care plans, provincial and territorial health authorities, hospital formularies, and others will encourage compliance with established guidelines.
For example, you'll see more prompting for providers to have patients reach A1C goals...improve vaccination rates...use appropriate meds for heart disease...etc. The goal is to improve care...and reduce costs.
