Title: Drug utilization review using a Medicaid claims database. Author: Sena MM, Pashko S. Journal: Clin Ther; 1993; 15(5):900-4. PubMed ID: 8269457. Abstract: A methodology for conducting drug utilization review (DUR) using Medicaid claims data is presented.

The strengths and limitations of using Medicaid data for DUR are discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
