variable is the one that influences the variation. A dependent variable is
the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment (the
result of applying the independent variable).
Drug Utilization Review (DUR) programs - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > -involve
retrospective monitoring of physicians' prescribing patterns
-more than 90% of HMOs require DURs
-nowadays mostly monitors cost savings (p. 181)
opportunity cost - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > based on the premise that all resources
