Hey Everyone,
This week I was introduced to a new project Dignity is working on that ties directly into what I had been doing with the prescription drug prices project. Essentially they are developing a system that can log and compare drugs based on their price and efficiency to the final patient as a means of making sure we are using the best value drugs, a balance of cost and quality.
I have largely been working on the actual design of the web application and making sure everything is functional, rather than developing the internal system as the groundwork is largely laid for that aspect. It is another instance of how they are gathering all the data surrounding outcomes of certain drugs and comparing it to the costs of each, exactly in line with what I had been researching in my previous efforts to ensure we were receiving the best prices compared to local pharmacies.
I wanted to share this with you as I am excited to continue my work with big data, thank you!
