P&T Committee

A P&T (Pharmacy & Therapeutics) Committee is a group of healthcare professionals, including pharmacists, physicians, and managers, responsible for reviewing and approving the medications and treatments used within a healthcare organization. They evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and cost of drugs to ensure that patients receive the best possible care. The committee develops policies, manages formularies (lists of approved medications), and makes recommendations to optimize medication use, improve health outcomes, and control costs. Their role is vital for making evidence-based decisions that impact patient care and the organization’s medication management practices.
