    Abstract:
    This introductory article in a series on P & T Committees discusses the mission, role, and function of the committee in a hospital. With increasing complexity of drug therapy, the committee's mission has evolved into a multifaceted program related to promotion of rational and safe drug therapy within the institution. Components of the mission, the committee's responsibilities and functions, including formulary, policies and procedures, drug utilization review, drug administration, investigational drug studies, and education, are introduced and briefly discussed in terms of their role in the institution, accreditation standards, and published standards of practice. Future articles will provide fuller consideration of these topics.
