The nonprofit Alosa Health, Inc. is a national
leader in developing and implementing programs of academic detailing to improve
prescribing. At our core, we believe that medical decisions should be based on
unbiased, evidence-based information. Our mission is to improve patient
outcomes by identifying and disseminating the best evidence available, to
support health care professionals in providing optimal care for their
patients.
Alosa produces educational materials on common
primary care topics that are designed for health care professionals practicing
internal medicine, family medicine, and geriatrics. Given the large amount of
new literature that is produced regularly, it is difficult to stay current on
recent clinical research results, let alone translate that information into
routine patient care and medication-use decisions. Alosa's clinical team synthesizes
current information on optimal therapies into accessible, non-commercial,
evidence-based educational material. Alosa Health partners with the
Massachusetts Medical Society to make its educational modules available online
for CME credit.
