Medical Management Program: How you can help
The BWPO has implemented several medical management programs to help achieve performance goals. In order to maximize the return of these programs, all physicians should consider the following if applicable:
Inpatient Days/Admission Management
• Admit to Faulkner Hospital whenever appropriate and possible
• Enroll or refer patients to high risk and disease management programs if applicable
Radiology
• Use Percipio to order imaging studies
Pharmacy
• Prescribe generic whenever possible, and encourage the use of over-the-counter drugs if appropriate (e.g. Claritin or Prilosec/omeprazole)
• Use LMR e-prescribing rather than paper prescriptions
