Svensk definition
Formella program för standardiserad uppföljning av läkemedelsförskrivning. Uppföljningsanalysen kan beakta klinisk lämplighet, kostnadseffektivitet och, i vissa fall, utfall. Rapporten är vanligtvis retrospektiv, men vissa analysmoment kan göras innan läkemedel delas ut (som t ex i vissa datasystem, som ger rekommendationer när recept skrivs in).
Engelsk definition
Formal programs for assessing drug prescription against some standard. Drug utilization review may consider clinical appropriateness, cost effectiveness, and, in some cases, outcomes. Review is usually retrospective, but some analysis may be done before drugs are dispensed (as in computer systems which advise physicians when prescriptions are entered). Drug utilization review is mandated for Medicaid programs beginning in 1993.
