  • Methods and systems for generic opportunity scoring
    Patent number: 8504383
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and/or computer system determines a Generic Opportunity Score (GOS) and/or a generic drug's performance demonstrating how a generic utilization can be better identified and improved relative to the total overall generic opportunity, which can provide savings information relative to a clinically appropriate generic alternative. In some embodiments, the process and/or system determines the GOS as the proportion of generic prescriptions dispensed relative to the maximum number of prescriptions that have a generic equivalent or a clinically-appropriate generic alternative. In some embodiments, the process determines the GOS as the number of generic claims dispensed over the total number of generic claims plus the brand claims that have a generic equivalent or generic alternative.
