There are some folks who make great resources over on the Yahoo thread:
messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com
For example, here are some thoughts by MKC, who uses Cholestec's LDX product at work: " Part of the reason that I believe the LDX systems will gain ground in the pharmacy market is the undercurrent of pharmacists moving to get prescriptive authority. Some states are already looking into that ability. Of course, the pharmacist will work closely with a physician but will monitor medication dosages, etc. That's where the LDX will help in pharmacists. For example, a physician may order a cholesterol lowering med and the patient can
monitor the dosage at his/her local pharmacy. If and when pharmacists gain prescriptive authority, they could actually change the dosage if the need arises. This, at least, is my understanding of the process.
This comment gave added emphasis to my understanding of the contract to get LDX into the pharmacies.. I would encourage all the SI folks to stop over and visit the Yahoo thread.. dlo
