Key Findings
- Duplicate therapy point-of-sale edits can be an effective means of reducing the concomitant use of a GLP-1 agonist and DPP-4 inhibitor.
- It is important to implement safeguards at the point-of-sale to ensure that diabetes regimens are safe, clinically effective, and cost-conscious.
Capital Rx's Lauren Carroll, PharmD, BCACP (Manager, Clinical Programs), Angela Kalantarova, PharmD (Senior Manager, Clinical Programs), Brigitte Kinsey (Senior Manager, Clinical Analytics), Bonnie Hui-Callahan, PharmD, CDCES, (Senior Director, Clinical Programs), Jay Tran, PharmD, MHA(VP, Clinical Operations), and Sara Izadi, PharmD (Chief Clinical Officer) conducted a study seeking to measure the potential to reduce waste in for form of day supply overlap.
By implementing point-of-sale safety alerts on duplicate therapy for glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors through JUDI®, our cloud-native enterprise health platform, we saw a meaningful reduction in the percentage of instances with day supply overlap.
