Evaluation of prescribing‘s quality

Michal Prokeš
INFOPHARM a.s., Praha

Physicians always do not prescribe drugs in optimal, therefore they should be provided by feed-back by means of evaluation of their prescribing habbits. This evaluation is based on drug statistics, which can identify drug related problems which can be present in prescriptions issued by individual physician, eg. suboptimal choice of antibiotics, clinically relevant drug-drug interactions, drugs potentially harmfull to seniors, etc. In this paper pharmacotherapeutical committees in Netherlands are mentioned as well as methods, by which rational pharmacotherapy is supported, which are successfully used in developed countries of Europe. From their experiences it is evident, that in every country rational prescribing should be supported and which methods can be used.

Keywords: Key words: evaluation of drug prescribing, quality indicators, pharmacotherapeutical committees.
