Abstract:
Background: In recent years there have been trends towards increased use of. nonprescription medicines and a greater number of products being switched from prescription-only to nonprescription status. When used properly nonprescription products can be safe and effective treatments, however it is not clear that patients do actually use these products in an appropriate manner. Despite this, there is currently only low level monitoring of nonprescription medicines to assess their use, efficacy and safety under actual clinical conditions of use.

The primary purpose of this study is to analyze the formulary status of cephalosporins among a representative sample of hospitals in the United States. In addition, the research design attempts to determine the ranking of cephalsoporins in terms of acceptance to the hospitals' formulary and actual stocking of the cephaosoporin products. The study will attempt to ascertain the reasons for these rankings and the influence of DRG implementation, teaching status and hospital bed size on number of cephalosporins on formulary and in stock.

Abstract:
Inappropriate use of medications (IUM) is a global problem that can lead to unnecessary harm to the patients and unnecessary costs across the health care system. Identifying and reducing IUM has been a long-lasting challenge and currently, no systematic and automated solution exists to address it. IUM can be manually identified by experts using medication appropriateness criteria (MAC). In this research I first conducted a review of approaches used to identify IUM and reduce IUM. Next, I developed a conceptual model for representing the MAC, and then developed a tool and a workflow for t
