Cost-Effective Alternative
A medication option that provides similar therapeutic benefits at a lower cost.
A cost-effective alternative is a medication option that provides similar therapeutic benefits at a lower cost than the originally prescribed medication. These alternatives may include generic medications, therapeutic equivalents, or medications with better insurance coverage. Clinical decision support systems can identify cost-effective alternatives in real-time during prescribing, helping healthcare providers make cost-conscious decisions while maintaining quality of care.
