We: – Followed explicit instructions when available– Assumed once a day drug dosing when available– Assumed generic drugs when available– Took advantage of potential synergies between CPGs– Chose medicines with least adverse effects / interactions Copyright 2006 The Johns Hopkins University Time Medications

Implications for Development of PCCs
– Cluster of related conditions– Prevalent combinations of conditions • Treatment regimen complexity• Synergies/interactions between treatments – What to do about multitude of infrequent but yet – Metrics based on single disease guidelines Copyright 2006 The Johns Hopkins University PCCs: future potential with electronic
health records (EHRs)
