Abstract

Approval of the Statement of Guiding Principles on the Operation of the Hospital Formulary System has been announced by the AMA, American Hospital Association, American Pharmaceutical Association, and the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists. The formulary system is a method by which physicians and pharmacists, working through a Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee of the medical staff, evaluate and select medications for use in a hospital. Action by the four organizations revises the guiding principles on operation of the system, originally adopted by AHA and ASHP in 1960. Complete text of the new statement follows: PREAMBLE The treatment of hospitalized patients in many cases is dependent upon the effective use of drugs. The multiplicity of drugs available makes it mandatory that a sound program of drug usage be developed within the hospital to ensure that patients receive the best care and protection possible.
