Pharmacy payment data and HIPAA — what worked for you?

It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false.

Correct, and worth adding that it is reversible. Nothing being described here is a one-way door, which changes how cautious it is reasonable to be.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

That holds where the measurement is reliable.

Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework.

I read this differently from newstart_MO, on substance rather than tone. The objection nobody has made: this only works if the measurement is doing what we assume it is doing, and that assumption has not been tested here.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. If you are going to change something, change one thing and give it long enough to express itself. Four weeks is the usual minimum for anything pharmacological on this board, and two weeks of data has told you almost nothing.

Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful.
