Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Pharmacotherapy Monitoring
  • Quality Assurance

Background:

  • The Joint Commission emphasizes Quality Assurance (QA), making Drug Use Evaluation (DUE) a focus for hospital pharmacists.
  • Implementing a robust DUE plan is complex and resource-intensive for healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of Drug Use Evaluation (DUE) beyond regulatory compliance.
  • To emphasize DUE's role in enhancing patient therapeutic outcomes through active pharmacist intervention.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a conceptual analysis and review of the role of DUE in hospital pharmacy.
  • It examines the practical and clinical benefits of systematic pharmacotherapy review.
