Pharmacy & Therapeutic
Committee
It is a standing committee made up of the medical staff responsible for assuring that the medications and therapeutic agents used at Dallah Hospital are of the highest quality, monitoring non-formulary drug use, evaluating medication usage, watching for adverse drug and medication errors, analyzing pharmacoeconomics, and preparing guidelines for use.
Medication Use Evaluation
Committee
The committee’s purpose is to monitor and evaluate that the use of drugs at Dallah Hospital is planned and ongoing. It also aims to help assure the appropriate, safe and effective usage of drugs. The program involves monitoring the patterns of such usage, of adverse drug reactions, of disease-state oriented reviews of formal drugs using approved criteria, of the collection and analysis of data on drugs recently evaluated by the Therapeutics Committee, and of outcome research. All results and activities are reported to the Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee.
Antimicrobial Advisory
Committee
The primary role of this committee is to promote the rational, safe and cost-conscious use of antimicrobials at Dallah Hospital. With the current concerns revolving around resistance to antibiotics, this role is critical for ensuring that provided therapies are effective and do not contribute to the increasing number of resistant bacteria.
Pharmacy & Nursing
Committee
The establishment of the Pharmacy & Nursing Committee at Dallah Hospital has helped improve the relationship between the two departments. The purpose of the committee is to resolve issues using a cooperative approach.
