Request for Formulary Consideration
Medical Centers at the University of California San Francisco
UCSF Formulary Addition Request
The Pharmacy &Therapeutics (P&T) Committee is a medical staff committee that formulates policies regarding the evaluation, selection, diagnostic and therapeutic use, and monitoring of medications and medication-associated products and devices. Pediatric-medication requests will be first presented to the Pediatric Medication Review Committee (PMRC) for cross bay collaboration between BCH-SF and BCH-Oakland.
A thorough evidence-based review will be initiated, as well as safety, effectiveness, cost, and utilization analysis. You will be contacted once the review is completed and will be notified when the medication will be placed on the PMRC or P&T Committee agenda. As the requester, you will serve as the champion for the formulary addition request. You will also be expected to attend the P&T Committee meeting at UCSF where the merits of the drug will be discussed.
