Prescription requirements and telehealth models — a second dataset posts 61–90

This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

policy_reader, post #59: Everything in post #56 holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have. Scheduling and prescription status are separate questions and the answer to one does not imply the other. It is a small point and it changes the answer, which is an awkward combination. Go to post

An indication approved for one age range does not extend to another, and paediatric extensions are separate decisions with separate evidence.

The evidence for this is thinner than the way I have phrased it suggests.

The failure mode on Prescription requirements and telehealth models is boring rather than dramatic. It is almost always the step everyone assumes was done correctly because it is too simple to get wrong.

Building on post #60 rather than restating it.

Practical answer on Prescription requirements and telehealth models, since the theoretical one is upthread: do the simplest check first, write down the result, and only then decide whether the complicated explanation is needed. It usually is not.

Post #62 put the caveat in the right place and I want to underline it.

Nothing in this subcategory is legal advice, and the members who work in regulated environments are the most careful to say so.

If anyone has run this properly I would rather read that than my own guess.

That is clearer than the version I had in my head. Thank you.

d.eriksen, post #7: Adding a note of thanks rather than an opinion. I did not know most of that. Go to post

Scheduling and prescription status are separate questions and the answer to one does not imply the other.

One of those cases where knowing the mechanism does not help the decision.

Prescription requirements and telehealth models is a question about a distribution, not about a value, and treating it as a value is what produces the confident wrong answers.

Where I part company with post #66, and it is a narrow parting.

I would call the community position on Prescription requirements and telehealth models likely rather than established, and I would be comfortable defending that hedge.

Generic or biosimilar entry depends on patent and exclusivity positions that are jurisdiction-specific and are frequently misreported.

d.ndiaye, post #29: Before the thread moves on from Prescription requirements and telehealth models — what is the sample size behind the claim? I am not being difficult; I have seen the same figure quoted from an n of four and from an n of four hundred. Go to post

On post #66 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification.

Agreed on Prescription requirements and telehealth models, with one qualification that I think matters. The reasoning holds for the case as described. Change the starting assumption and it does not, and the starting assumption is the part nobody states.

a.jansen, post #60: Prescription requirements and telehealth models was covered in the wiki last year and the page has a review date on it, which is a better starting point than my memory of a thread. Go to post

Where a claim about legality is made here, the useful follow-up is which instrument it rests on. Most such claims turn out to rest on a forum post.

The short answer was in the first line; everything after is the working.

Picking up post #69: that is the part I would want checked first.

The useful distinction on Prescription requirements and telehealth models is between what was measured and what was inferred from it. Both end up in the same sentence and only one of them has error bars.

Source for the Prescription requirements and telehealth models figure, since it was asked for. It is in the discussion rather than the abstract, which is why the version circulating is stronger than the paper is.

Reading the surrounding paragraph is worth the two minutes. The authors are more careful than their summarisers.

l.krastev, post #14: Narrowing post #11, because the general version has more than one answer. I read the earlier replies on Prescription requirements and telehealth models twice before writing this, because I had assumed the opposite and wanted to be sure I was disagreeing with what was said rather than what I expected. Go to post

I will take the caveat as seriously as the claim, which is the point of putting it there.

no.silva, post #56: The arithmetic in post #54 is right; the assumption feeding it is the part to check. If you can confirm or contradict a position for your own region, please date the answer. An undated regional claim is the least useful thing in this category. I have deliberately not rounded that, because the rounding is where the argument starts. Go to post

On Prescription requirements and telehealth models, the part that usually goes wrong is that the question is asked as though it has one answer. It has a range, and the width of the range is the interesting bit.

If you can post the two or three numbers you are working from, several people here will check the arithmetic rather than argue about the conclusion.

I had written a reply contradicting post #73 and deleted it. Here is what survived.

What would change my mind on Prescription requirements and telehealth models is a second dataset collected by someone with no stake in the first. Until then I hold it loosely and I would rather say so than pretend to more.

ppm_error, post #6: I had written a reply contradicting post #4 and deleted it. Here is what survived. Reframing Prescription requirements and telehealth models slightly, because I think the disagreement is about the question rather than the answer. If the question is "does it happen", yes. If it is "how often", nobody here knows. Go to post

Prescription requirements and telehealth models has been discussed here with more heat than it deserves, mostly because two definitions have been in play the whole time.

Narrowing post #78, because the general version has more than one answer.

What I would check first on Prescription requirements and telehealth models is whether the thing being measured moved or whether the way of measuring it moved. Those look identical in a graph.

That is one dataset and I would not build a rule on it.

The arithmetic in post #84 is right; the assumption feeding it is the part to check.

On Prescription requirements and telehealth models, I would rather understate and be corrected upward than overstate and be quoted. That is a house style here and it is a good one.

Whatever the answer on Prescription requirements and telehealth models turns out to be, the method for getting there is the same: state the assumption, do the arithmetic in public, invite the correction.

The version of Prescription requirements and telehealth models that I was taught turned out to be a teaching simplification. Useful, and not true in the way I had assumed it was.

That is the honest state of it as of this week.
