Retail Rxs By State

The Kaiser Family Foundation recently published an interactive chart that lets you look at the number of retail prescriptions filled in each state based on Verispan data.

This is interesting, but it doesn’t tell you much until tied to population or compared by disease state or some other metric.  So, here is their view by retail Rxs per capita.

There are lots of other data point out there by state for you to look at.

[BTW – Since I heard from one “ex-fan”, I will apologize for some distraction with the political process.  It is hard not to comment on timely events that will affect healthcare such as the US presidential race.  I appreciate readers interest in focus, but that’s not always possible.  Thank you for reading!]
