Background

The aim of this project is to pilot differing approaches to providing evidence-based drug information to rural Oregon clinicians serving significant panels of Medicaid patients. The Oregon State University College of Pharmacy, partnering with the Oregon Rural Practice-based Research Network (ORPRN) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), will engage several rural family practice clinics to pilot alternative methods for disseminating evidence-based prescription drug information among Medicaid providers in Rural Oregon. This website contains educational material developed for that project.
