title: Medicare Part D: where we are and where we're going.
abstract: Achieving optimum outcomes for our patients clearly is going to require more than making the correct diagnosis and writing the right prescription. If patients cannot access the prescriptions needed to achieve the desired outcome, providers will be judged falling short of the mark. Achieving optimum outcomes requires not only understanding Medicare Part D, but also using this knowledge to develop an efficient and effective office system to gain access to all medically necessary prescriptions.
