Academic detailing
Academic detailing is "
health care costs. A key component of non-commercial or university-based academic detailing programs is that they (academic detailers/clinical educators, management, staff, program developers, etc.) do not have any financial links to the pharmaceutical industry
.
Academic detailing has been studied for over 25 years[2] and has been shown to be effective at improving prescribing of targeted medications about 5% from baseline.[3] Though it is primarily used to affect prescribing, it is also used to educate providers regarding other non-drug interventions, such as screening guidelines.
Organizations
Many academic detailing programs exist around the world. In the
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Pharmacy Benefits Management pilot tested the National Academic Detailing Service in 2010 to enhance veterans' outcomes by empowering clinicians and promoting the use of evidence-based treatments using delivered by clinical pharmacy specialists.[8] After the pilot, in March 2015, the Interim Under Secretary for Health issued a memorandum requiring implementation of AD programs throughout the Veterans Health Administration.[9]
Programs also exist in
National Prescribing Service
(NPS). In Belgium academic detailing is provided by Project Farmaka.
