Question
What is a Drug Utilization Review (DUR), and at what stage does it typically occur in the dispensing process?
Tap to reveal answer↕
Answer
A.A screening (often automated, then evaluated by the pharmacist) for issues like interactions, duplications, and allergies, typically performed during order entry before dispensing
B.A financial audit of the pharmacy's monthly prescription revenue
C.A patient satisfaction survey conducted after pickup
D.A physical inventory count performed quarterly
A DUR screens each prescription (often through automated system checks) for problems such as drug interactions, therapeutic duplication, or allergy conflicts, and any flags require pharmacist evaluation before the prescription is verified. It has nothing to do with revenue audits, satisfaction surveys, or inventory counts.
