Cost control the wrong way. We *want* consistent engagement with care plans & prevent crisis. No one is getting seen every month. Changes rarely happen every month. Let patients, their families, doctors, clinicians, focus on other things than monthly

There is very little if any evidence that monthly prescription rather than 3 monthly prescriptions for medicines needed for chronic conditions lead to better outcomes. So why do short duration scripts dominate? https://t.co/BoYVtZVe0I
