Drug Utilization Review Board

A Drug Utilization Review (DUR) Board is a group of healthcare professionals and policymakers that reviews prescription drug use to ensure medications are used safely, effectively, and appropriately. They analyze prescribing patterns, identify potential issues like overuse or misuse, and develop guidelines or policies to optimize patient outcomes and control costs. The DUR Board helps balance access to medications with proper management, aiming to improve healthcare quality while preventing drug-related problems. Their work supports safe prescribing practices and ensures that patients receive the right medications for their conditions.
