An evaluation of a price transparency intervention for two commonly prescribed medications on total institutional expenditure: a prospective study (2018)
Journal Article
Langley, T., Lacey, J., Johnson, A., Newman, C., Khare, M., Skelly, R., …Fogarty, A. W. (2018). An evaluation of a price transparency intervention for two commonly prescribed medications on total institutional expenditure: a prospective study. Future Hospital Journal, 5(3), 198-202. https://doi.org/10.7861/futurehosp.5-3-198

Importance: Providing cost feedback has been demonstrated to decrease demand from clinicians. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that providing the cost of drugs to clinicians would modify total expenditure. Design: A prospective study design with...
