As the most common health-care intervention, prescription drug use
shares the most important characteristics of the health-care system
in the United States. When everything works well, it makes possible
breathtakingly successful applications of science to the prevention
and cure of human suffering. But everything doesn't always work
well. Pharmaceutical Public Policy provides the understanding and
framework required for effective organization, financing, and
delivery of pharmaceutical products and services. It supplies an
overview of the policy process as well as the roles of legislation
and regulation in pharmaceutical policy. The book identifies the
goals, objectives, and key policy issues of concern to stakeholders
involved in the development of products, use of pharmaceuticals in
healthcare, and administration of insurance programs by both the
private and government sectors. Policy issues examined include the
appropriateness of prescribing and patient adherence. Addressing
questions of access, quality, and cost, the book considers the
operation of the Affordable Care Act and Medicare Part D. It
details the responsibilities of Federal providers of pharmaceutical
care and private and public payers such as managed care
organizations, pharmacy benefit managers, Medicare, and Medicaid.
The book covers the policies and practices involved in promoting
pharmaceutical products. It also considers pharmacoeconomics as a
response to market failure. Finally, the book describes the market,
the role of the manufacturer, drug shortages, and the
responsibilities of the FDA. The book includes a Foreword by Jerry
Avorn, MD, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School; and
Chief, Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics,
Brigham and Woman's Hospital.
