The South Carolina Medicaid Academic Detailing Program is officially identified as SCORxE which stands for South Carolina Offering Prescribing Excellence. Our mission is to improve the quality of care for South Carolina Medicaid patients in the most cost effective manner by promoting quality, evidence-based drug therapy and best practices through face-to-face communication with providers.

The pharmaceutical industry has long used detailing to promote drug products to the
medical community. Academic detailing utilizes the effective communications strategies of the pharmaceutical industry, but is not limited to any one type of product. Clinical consultants meet
|
|
| face-to-face with providers to offer them unbiased, evidence-based clinical information about drug therapy and best-practices that will assist with making best prescription decisions. Academic detailing programs have been used successfully in other countries, including Australia and Canada. In the United States, Pennsylvania has an active program sponsored by the PACE Program of the Pennsylvania Department of Aging. |
This program, the first of its kind in the state, is a collaborative effort between the South Carolina College of Pharmacy (SCCP) and the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS). SCDHSS provided $1.98 million to the College to provide academic detailing services to physicians who serve Medicaid patients with mental health disorders, HIV/AIDs or cancer.
