Patients need to be put in the driver’s seat

We believe that patients need to be empowered to make health care choices that better meet their needs. Our role is to supply everyone who will benefit from it with complete and accurate information in clear, easy-to-understand language.

We do this through the following programs:

Of course, patients have an important role to play as well, and we work to help them to:

  • Exercise the same freedom of choice in health care purchasing as they do in other areas of their life. As with any product, retail drug prices can vary, and patients should shop around to make sure that they are getting the best possible deal for both branded and generic products.
  • Seek out information that helps them identify where they will receive the best-quality care so they can choose the best approach.
  • Follow through with the drug regimens that have been prescribed to them. In order to help enact the best possible outcomes, it is important to take drugs exactly as a doctor prescribes them.
