Drug-usage evaluation: a system for the prospective evaluation of antibiotic utilization in minimum inhibitory concentration documented infections
Abstract
Large hospitals appear to have advantages in using specialized clinical practitioners to provide prospective reviews on drug therapy. Using the PRMC pharmacy service as a model, a prospective DUE program can be duplicated in small hospitals with four or five fulltime pharmacists. The minimal requirements are a microbiology laboratory, administrative support, and a pharmacy service committed to providing prospective patient oriented care.
