E-DRUG: Information on drug indicators for the hospital pharmacy setting  
-------------------------------------------------

Dear all,

Can anyone provide some information on drug indicators focusing the hospital pharmacy setting?

I am aware about the drug consumption indicator using DDD/ 100 bed-days, I am looking for another one who might be helpful to use.

I would be grateful for any information.

Best wishes

Dear Grace

It is not clear which sort of indicators you are seeking, but you may  
find it worth looking at the Quality Use of Medicine indicators  
developed in Australia:
