    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Pharmacoeconomics
    • Clinical Pharmacy

    Background:

    • Variation in prescribing practices between primary care and hospital settings can lead to suboptimal patient care and increased costs.
    • The need for standardized medication information and guidance to improve prescribing quality and efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a collaborative drug formulary for a primary care group and hospital trust.
    • To create a comprehensive resource integrating local/national guidelines, drug dosages, and cost information.

    Main Methods:

    • A multidisciplinary working group was formed, including general practitioners (GPs), consultants, and pharmacists.
    • A 10-month development period was allocated for the formulary creation.
    • Inclusion of local and national drug guidelines, standard adult doses, and cost data for 28-day primary care supply.
