Pharmaceutical & Drug Policy
The myth of the free market for pharmaceuticals
On April 20, the Engelberg Center convened an expert workshop to discuss prescribing information for health care professionals.
This workshop brought together a diverse set of stakeholders who discussed the following issues:
- How the prescribing information (PI) is currently accessed and utilized;
- If the current PI format is meeting the needs of prescribers and other health care professionals and if all PIs should be standardized in this format;
- How PIs could be encouraged as the primary resource for prescription drug information; and
- The content that is most useful for prescribers and other health care providers in the Patient Counseling Information (PCI) section of the PI.
