“…In 2011, a survey evaluating formulary Am J Health-Syst Pharm-Vol 71 Mar 1, 2014 management practice revealed that 46 (88%) of the 52 respondents tracked the use of nonformulary medications. 20 However, the authors acknowledged that it was not possible to compare nonformulary medication use among institutions because various metrics were used. The limited data required to create our formulary compliance dashboard (medication name, formulary status, admission number) are readily available and retrievable in most pharmacy information systems and hospitalwide EMRs.…”

A comprehensive formulary management system resulted in increased compliance to a formulary that matched the needs of the institution and minimized the number of nonformulary medication requests. Expanding pharmacists' therapeutic interchange authorities was the least labor-intensive way of managing nonformulary medication requests, and adding the most frequently used nonformulary medications to the formulary was the second least costly option.

Objectives: To evaluate the functionality of P&TC and availability of hospital formulary in different hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan. Methodology: This study was conducted in 19 hospitals (public/private-secondary and tertiary care) of Lahore, by a designed Questionnaire Performa regarding the availability and functionality of hospital formulary. Data was entered in Excel sheet and analyzed for statistical analysis. Results: During our studies, it was observed that 16(84.2%) hospitals were responsive to give information and 3(15.8%) hospitals refused to give us data. Pharmacy and therapeutics committee was present in 10(52.6%) hospitals and in 6(31.6%) hospitals there was no existence of P&TC. Hospital formulary was available in 10(52.6%) hospitals and in 2(10.5%) drug list was present and in 7(36.8%) hospitals there was neither hospital formulary nor drug list was present. In 9(47.4%) hospitals hospital formulary was in use and in 7 (36.8%) hospitals there was no usage of hospital formulary. Conclusion: It was observed during our study that P&TC seems to have an impact on quality of medicines use but very few hospitals are following the International Guidelines on the pharmacy and therapeutic Committee and theformulary system due to inadequate number of pharmacist and lack of knowledge. Strong leadership and adequate resources might deliver more effective P&TC with marked effect on health practices, thus most importantly to enhanced patient outcomes.

“…However, the overall respondent sample size is similar to that of a previous national survey of institutions' formulary management processes (52 respondents) and provide an important initial perspective on the practice domains assessed in our survey. 25 In addition, respondents were predominantly pharmacists (94.2%), which may be related to the method of identifying health care professionals who likely participate in P&T committee tasks. Despite their majority representation, pharmacists were the health care professionals most often reported to be authors of P&T committee documents; therefore, the training and responsibilities reported could be considered reflective of P&T committee members and contributors who typically provide formulary decision support.…”
