Drug Utilization Evaluation (DUE)

Drug Utilization Evaluation (DUE) is a process used by healthcare professionals to review how medications are prescribed and used. Its goal is to ensure patients receive appropriate, effective, and safe drug therapy. By examining factors like proper medication selection, dosage, and duration, DUE helps identify potential issues such as unnecessary prescriptions or harmful interactions. This ongoing assessment promotes optimal treatment outcomes, enhances patient safety, and supports appropriate use of healthcare resources.
