    Abstract:
    The goals and functions of a productive and effective University Hospital P & T Committee are described. The primary responsibilities of the P & T Committee are to ensure high-quality drug therapy for hospital patients, provide liaison between the medical staff and the department of pharmacy services, and advise the Institutional Review Board of the University on the study of investigational drugs in humans. To meet its responsibilities, the P & T Committee maintains a formulary of medications approved for routine patient care, reviews drug use and adverse drug reactions, and establishes procedures for prescribing, dispensing,and administering drugs in the hospital. The P & T Committee acts on behalf of the Medical Board of the hospital, and actions of the Committee are subject to the Board's approval.
