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
