HID Provides Prospective Drug Utilization Review as the First Step in Improving the Quality of Drug Therapy.

Conducting ProDUR

Drug Utilization Review (DUR) is the process by which prescribed medications are evaluated against explicit criteria to improve the quality of drug therapy and reduce unnecessary expenditures. Prospective DUR (Pro-DUR) procedures, which are conducted at the point of sale, are potentially a very effective form of DUR to prevent inappropriate prescribing of prescription drugs and to prevent unnecessary risks for adverse drug effects.
