NTT Data, in collaboration with Data Horizon,
will begin offering Generic
Drugs Promotion Notice, a service for promoting the prescription
of generic drugs, on April 10.
The new service, which is intended for health insurance insurers,
shows how the prescription of generic drugs contributes to reducing
medical expenses. Specifically, by analyzing information on drug
prescription offered by the insurers, the service enables them to
identify which items can be substituted by generic drugs and how
much cost reduction is likely to be possible.
NTT Data expects that this service will help widespread the use
of generic products to achieve reduction in medical expenses. In
line with the start of the service, the company plans to hold seminars
in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya on April 28/June 22, June 6, and May
30, respectively.
