  2. Prescription guidelines • Prescription guidelines • Introduction of guidelines to promote the appropriate and economic prescribing of pharmaceuticals • Indicative (most countries) / obligatory (AT, DE, HU, NO, SK) • Example AT: “Guidelines on Economic Prescribing” provide that in case of several similar therapeutic options being available a physician has to choose the most cost-effective one 2

  3. Prescription monitoring • Prescription monitoring • In most countries Third Party Payers monitor the prescription habits of their contracted doctors – in raw cases sanctions • Example BE • Database system (Pharmanet) operated by Social Health Insurance to monitor the consumption and prescription pattern • All reimbursable pharmaceuticals dispensed in pharmacies • Pharmacies submit their data monthly - database is updated every three months • Individual profiles of physicians -> feedback on prescribing patterns • No monitoring of individual patients consumption since data is made anonymous 3

  4. Pharmaceutical budgets • Pharmaceutical budgets for doctors • Third Party Payers set ex-ante a maximum amount of money to be spent on pharmaceuticals in a specific region or period of time by a contracted doctor • Obligatory budgets in DE, LV, SE, SK – although in most cases still no sanctions • Different criteria for calculating the budgets, e.g.: • the number of patients • the age groups of the patients and their diseases 4
