  • Title: How to use structured decision making in developing therapeutic, cost-effective formulary systems.
    Author: Crane VS.
    Journal: Hosp Formul; 1993 Oct; 28(10):859-62, 865-7. PubMed ID: 10129135.
    Abstract:
    The formulary decision-making process must evolve from a system which places a greater emphasis on the financial factors to one which includes therapeutic and patient outcomes. Ideally, all available options and possible consequences of a decision--economic as well as clinical--should be examined by P & T Committees. In this article, three methods to assist in formulary selection and management activities are described: the inventory management approach, the cost accounting approach, and the criteria-based protocol approach. All three methods have a place in the overall development and management of an effective therapeutic formulary system.
