billion is wasted annually in the U.S. on increased medical costs that result from non-adherent patients.

“As our Drug Trend Report detailed, patients stop taking their medications for a variety of reasons: maybe the drugs are too expensive, maybe the retail pharmacy is inconvenient, maybe the side effects are difficult to tolerate, or maybe the pa-tient is simply forgetful,” Dr. Miller noted. “Regardless of the reasons, the health and financial costs of these decisions are unsustainable. With our new predictive models, we’re proactively getting ahead of these issues. It’s a win-win for both patients and plan sponsors.”

The proprietary models incorporate past patient behavior and demographics, char-acteristics of the particular medical condi-tion and prescription drug, and a number of other factors that Express Scripts has identified as relevant. The models are the result of over a year of concerted effort by the Express Scripts team of pharmacy-benefit researchers and predictive model-ers.

“Previous industry attempts to predict therapy adherence were hampered by both the types and quantity of data available,” said David Tomala, director of advanced analytics at Express Scripts. “Our tens of millions of members, hundreds of millions of annual prescriptions, and ad-vanced understanding of human behavior were key to ‘cracking the code’ on therapy adherence. We are now the first pharmacy benefit manager to be able to -- with high fidelity -- discriminate in advance and intervene in an effective manner. This approach addresses adherence problems among those patients who need our help the most. Improved adherence is the

ADVERTORIAL


ST. LoUIS, oct 11, 2010 /PrNews-wire via comTEX/ -- Through a set of proprietary computer models, Express Scripts, Inc. (Nasdaq: ESRX), is now able to accurately predict up to a year in advance which patients are most at risk of falling off their physician-prescribed drug therapy -- and to intervene in cus-tomized ways to improve those patients’ adherence.

Express Scripts announced today the completed testing of its therapy adher-ence predictive models. The findings from the tests demonstrate that the new predictive models are more ac-curate, informative, and actionable than any the industry has produced previ-ously.

The patent-pending models apply to patient behavior in three key treatment classes: diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. By being able to intervene in a highly targeted way, Express Scripts can help improve their overall health and reduce their need for increased medical expenditures in the future.

“The problem of non-adherence isn’t new - it’s easy to walk through a hospi-tal and identify people who would not be there if they had simply taken their medications,” said Steven Miller, M.D., chief medical officer at Express Scripts. “But our new predictive models allow us to do something that wasn’t possible before: better identify those patients before they run into trouble, and tailor practical, patient-centric solutions that target the specific factors that put them at-risk for non-adherence.”

Interventions to improve adherence include reminders, consultations with a pharmacist, lowered co-pays, transi-tion to home delivery of medications, auto refills and renewal assistance, and educational information.

In the company’s 2009 Drug Trend Report, Express Scripts found that $106

EDITORIAL


ThE UNcomForT ZoNE with robert WilsonChill Out

The boys slumped against the wall of the dugout; you could read the de-spair on their faces. “What’s the point?” mumbled the right fielder, “We’re just going to lose again.” The team was on an eight game losing streak, with a record of 3 & 8 and five games left to play.

As the coach for the nine-year old Little League Orioles, I was frustrated. We had some of the finest talent in the league including the best pitcher and the best hitter, but the boys had already given up. I thought, “What can you do when there is no hope of winning?” It was then that I remembered one of the big-gest upsets in figure skating history.

I squatted down in front of them and said, “Lean in, boys, I want to tell you a story about a 16 year old girl who got to go to the 2002 Winter Olympic Games as an ice skater.”

Her name is Sarah Hughes and she bare-ly made the team. She was one of the youngest members, and she would be competing against the biggest names in figure skating - women who had already won world titles.

No one expected her to win. No one expected her to even place in the top three. Sarah wasn’t expecting to win either.

“So,” I asked the boys, “what is the point of competing when you know you can-not win?”

“Well, it would be pretty cool just to be in the Olympics,” offered the first base-man.

“And, that’s what Sarah thought.” I replied. “She was just thrilled to there; and she made it her goal to simply do her best and have fun. When it was her turn to skate, she chose to do some of the hardest spins, jumps and footwork that an ice skater can do. Why not, she thought, because no one expected her

to win. There was no pressure on her to win, and because there was no pressure she did all of those difficult moves perfectly.”

After Sarah skated, all the big name skaters took their turns. Each one of them tried the difficult moves, but each one was nervous - trying too hard to win - and each one made mistakes. They fell on the ice. And, you can’t fall down in the Olympics and win. In the end, only Sarah skated without falling down, and she won the gold medal.

Sarah won, because she didn’t believe there was a chance for her to win. She went out on the ice to have fun. Boys, that is where you are today. You no longer have to worry about winning. Our record is so bad, that even if we win the next five games, we still won’t place first, second or even third. So, what is the point of playing? The point of playing right now is to have fun. There is no pressure on you anymore. I want you to go out on the baseball field today and just have a good time.

They went on to win that day. In fact, they won the last five games. The boys finally started playing at their full potential. At the end of the season, as we entered the playoffs, the top three teams were looking nervously at the Orioles. I’d like to tell you we

placed in the playoffs, but once again with the pressure back on, the Orioles choked and got knocked out in the first round.

The trick is to take your mind off the prize, and focus instead on enjoying the project at hand. We’ve all heard: “It’s the journey, not the destination.” There is a lot of truth in that cliche. The idea being that we should experience the task as an end in itself. Poet, Crystal Boyd, said it best in her book, Midnight Muse: “Work like you don’t need money, Love like you’ve never been hurt, And dance like no one’s watching.”
