What needs to be addressed when adding new medications to the formulary?
Any examples are for illustrative purposes only.
Before a medication is added to an accredited organization's list or formulary, both staff and Licensed Practitioners are trained on the effects of the medication and the monitoring requirements. In addition, the healthcare provider must have access to laboratory and other diagnostic testing which may be required to monitor effectiveness and/or adverse events.
