Data Sources

There are a few places that I always go for information.  I thought I would share them:

1. For general Rx data, I use the NACDS website.
2. For prescription trend information, the PBMs have good trend reports.  I helped with ESI’s report so I know it well, but Medco and Caremark also put out good reports.
3. General government health data
4. Rand
5. Kaiser Foundation
6. CDC (e.g., publication)
7. RevolutionHealth or WebMd (e.g., look at this scary obesity chart)
8. DrugDigest
9. Consumer Reports on Prescriptions

More to come, but I found myself going to the same site multiple times today and jotted down a few URLs that I find as common tools.
