2. P&T Pharmacy and Therapeutics (Not pharmacology and therapeutics)
Hospital systems, insurance providers etc. have P&T committees to determine if they should add a drug to formulary or not
Take into consideration the cost and efficacy of the drug to determine if there is an improvement in health outcomes and if it is worth the money

3. Background Formulary: Prior Authorization:
list of prescription drugs used by practitioners to identify drugs that offer the greatest overall value (efficacy and cost.) A committee of physicians, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists maintain the formulary
Prior Authorization:
requirement that your physician obtain approval from your health insurance plan to prescribe a specific medication. PA is a technique for minimizing costs, as benefits are only paid if the medical care has been pre-approved by the insurance company

4. What Is The P&T Competition
Real world experience of formulary management
Understanding how to utilize medical and research data for health-care system outcomes
Working with scientific evidence to determine efficacy and economics of patient population
Utilizing disease state guidelines to determine efficacy of drug
Broadening your scope of pharmacy to international regulations of drugs to determine efficacy of treatment

5. Why Is The P&T Competition Important
Learn how to determine the best treatment outcomes for a patient population
Ensure that patients can get the best possible treatment
Understand the steps that a health-care system needs to take to add a drug on its formulary
Realize the importance of both efficacy and cost to a health-care system
Quality-Adjusted Life-Year (QALY)
Life expectancy adjusted based on utility
QALY = time in health state × utility of state
