Results of a ten years experience Martine Ruggli Pharmacist FPH pharmaSuisse Switzerland Physicians-pharmacists quality circles
Concept of physicians - pharmacists quality circles: a stable group of 4 to 10 physicians with 1 (or more) pharmacist as a moderator who meet 4 to 5 times a year. Their goal: a continuous quality improvement of prescribing practices, thanks to education on guidelines, evidence-based medicine and pharmacoeconomy.
Physicians - pharmacists quality circles: how does it work? 1.Prescription data (benchmarking per physician and therapeutic class) 7. Assessment of the results and improvements 2.Education on guidelines and Evidence-based medecine 6.Check on the impact of the consensus 3.Analysis of prescription attitudes in comparison with scientific and economic data and search for alternatives in drug market 5.Application of the consensus 4.Consensus of each quality circle Work processContinous quality improvement of prescription 1.Prescription data (benchmarking per physician and therapeutic class) 7.Assessment of the results and improvements 6.Check on the impact of the consensus 2.Education on guidelines, Evidence-based medecine and pharmacoeconomy. 5.Application of the consensus 3.Analysis of prescription attitudes in comparison with scientific and economic data and search for alternatives in drug market 4.Consensus of each quality circle

Results from the ten year experience in Fribourg The quality circle started in Fribourg with the pioneer group (24 physicians and 6 pharmacists)
Pilot project 2004-2006 in Fribourg and Valais • New pilot project: monitoring during 2004 to 2006 of • The pioneer group of Fribourg • The new QC group of Fribourg (58 physicians and 8 pharmacists) • The QC group of the Valais (36 physicians and 8 pharmacists The pioneer group of Fribourg (24 physicians and 6 pharmacists)since 1997 66 new circles with 420 physicians
Results from the ten year experience in Fribourg 120’000 € per physician
Results of the newer quality circles in Fribourg 35’000 € per physician
Results of the quality circles in Valais 50’000 € per physician
Savings Savings for these 118 physicians: between 2004 and 2006 about 3.5 millions € since the beginning of the project over 12 millions €
"circle effect": better generics penetration Relation between the generics’ penetration in the 3 QC with the one of the control group. A bigger value than 1 indicates a generics penetration higher than the one of the control group Fig. 4: Relation between the generics’ penetration in the 3 QC with the one of the CG. A bigger value than 1 indicates a generics penetration higher than the one of the CP Fig. 4: Relation between the generics’ penetration in the 3 QC with the one of the CG. A bigger value than 1 indicates a generics penetration higher than the one of the CP
"Circle effect": more balanced attitude towards marketing strategies Relationship between the mean annual cost of a diabetic patient treated with antidiabetica (yellow) and some criteria that could influence it: generics penetration (% of packages) (blue), glitazones penetration (% of packages)(red) and the economic impact (% of the costs) of the insulin analoga glargine and detemir (purple)
"Circle effect": more balanced attitude towards marketing strategies Evolution of the proportion of prescribed packages of sartans (A2A) in the therapeutic class 02.07 ( ACE inhibitors, sartans, association of antihypertensiva)
Conclusion • Confirmation of the sustainable effectiveness of this interdisciplinary approach . • Negotiation about remuneration • Enlargement of this new type of pharmaceutical service.
