IMPROVING HEALTH CARE THROUGH
DRUG BENEFIT STRATEGIES
Formulary management is an important part of the integrated process by which managers of prescription drug benefit programs promote rational, clinically sound, safe and cost-effective pharmaceutical care on behalf of the patient population covered by the benefit, and assure that the benefit is affordable and sustainable. Formularies are accepted and routinely used by hospitals, health plans
(including FEHBP), pharmacy benefit management companies, self-insured
employers and government agencies (including the Department of Veterans
Affairs, the Department of Defense, and most state Medicaid programs).

the operational world of formulary management and Pharmacy and Therapeutics
Committees, will answer the question "What is a drug formulary
system?" The presenters will also discuss the decision making process
that goes into drug formulary development-including the utilization
of P&T Committees, the types of formularies utilized in the delivery
of a prescription drug benefit, and the importance of formulary management.
