  • Title: P & T Committee formulary requests: criteria for admission.
    Author: Weintraub M, Guttmacher L.
    Journal: Hosp Formul; 1984 Oct; 19(10):975-7, 980. PubMed ID: 10268315.
    Abstract:
    The criteria for P & T Committee members to consider when adding or deleting a product to the formulary are discussed. Although each institution will require and develop different standards that reflect the characteristics of the patient population they serve, two general sets of factors should be studied. The anticipated needs of the institution and the therapeutic application of the medication in consideration must be identified. Furthermore, the characteristics of the drug, including pharmacokinetics, biopharmaceutics, and cost must be clearly defined. The P & T Committee formulary decisions are critical in ensuring high-quality, cost-effective health care.
