Academic Detailing

The IEHP Pharmacy Academic Detailing team is an educational and evidence-based outreach program for our providers and pharmacies. We perform phone and one-on-one outreaches with physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacy staff. Our goal is to transform the prescriber and pharmacy practice and enhance the provider, pharmacist and member experience.

Clinical Drug Education provides materials that focus on a specific drug, drug class, and/or disease state. These materials contain pharmacological and clinical practice information to assist providers and pharmacies in their practice. As new drug information is available, it is important to stay up to date on clinical research findings to assist with member care and medication-use decisions.

Practice development education provides materials that focus on enhancing provider and member experience. The materials contain guidance on Formulary Utilization and PA submissions as well as insights regarding electronic prescribing and electronic health records. It is our commitment to provider practice optimization tools and resources to enhance member care.
