Streamline non-formulary drug requests for individuals or groups of patients
Situation:
Non-formulary high-cost medicines are being used for a broad range of indications based largely on low levels of evidence¹. Hospital pharmacies are routinely asked to supply non-formulary medicines to individual patients with approval (IPA) or groups of patients’ approval (PGA). The challenge is how to balance the request, the patient’s needs, and evidence-based documentation while maintaining fiscal prudence.
