Identifying Messages to PROmote Value & Education (IMPROVE) of Generic Prescribing Module
As drug costs continue to rise, it is important to provide patients with the best options when it comes to their prescriptions. This module is meant to change clinician perspectives on generic oral contraceptives by promoting an understanding of current attitudes. Understanding prescriber barriers and facilitators to prescribing generic drugs is critical to improving 'generic efficiency' for oral contraceptives. This module will not only encourage this understanding and the prescription of generics, but also emphasize the need to converse with patients about generics.
This activity has been developed in collaboration with Costs of Care, American College of Physicians, American Association of Nurse Practitioners, and funded by a grant from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
