Pharmacy and Therapeutics

A Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) committee is a group of healthcare professionals who evaluate and decide which medications and treatments are safest, most effective, and cost-efficient for use within a healthcare organization, such as a hospital or insurance plan. They review scientific evidence, clinical guidelines, and patient needs to develop policies ensuring optimal medication management. Their goal is to promote high-quality care while controlling costs and reducing risks associated with drug therapy. Ultimately, the P&T committee helps ensure patients receive appropriate, evidence-based medications for their conditions.
