Abstract:
The necessity of the methodology to manage and objectively evaluate outcomes is recognized for practicing cost-effective quality care. When outcome management is applied to pharmaceutical therapy, it is important to understand the relationship between outcome management and pharmacoeconomics. Pharmacoeconomics is a tool not only to evaluate the economical efficiency of pharmaceuticals themselves but also to evaluate the efficiency of clinical pharmaceutical interventions by medical staff. To apply outcome management and pharmacoeconomics in practice, it is necessary to systemize the contents of pharmaceutical care linkied to related outcomes and to continuously document the required information for the analysis and evaluation of outcomes.
