Underwriting Diabetes Using Prescription Histories
Scott Coller, PharmD

 

This presentation will provide an overview of Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational Diabetes and then move into a description of some of the newest therapies available. We'll see how a prescription rules engine can take into account medication patterns and relative mortality data to interpret likely diabetic conditions. In addition, we'll cover a few tricks-of-the-trade to detect patterns within a prescription history that are likely indicators of diabetic comorbidities and discuss how various medications influence hemoglobin A1c values.
