Drug Utilization Review

Systematic review of prescription drug use to ensure appropriate, safe, and cost-effective medication therapy.

Drug Utilization Review (DUR) is a systematic review of prescription drug use to ensure appropriate, safe, and cost-effective medication therapy. DUR programs analyze prescribing patterns, identify potential problems such as overuse, underuse, or misuse of medications, and provide recommendations to improve medication therapy. These reviews can be conducted in real-time during prescribing or retrospectively to identify trends and patterns.
