Formulary-Wizard

Compiling and implementing FTO agreements

A Formulary-Wizard was developed for Prescriptor to aid health care professionals in compiling and implementing agreements made during a pharmacotherapeutic (transmural) review (FT(T)O). The Wizard fills the needs of local groups, such as FT(T)O, health care associations and general practices. These groups often want to include national and regional formularies in their own practices. Web-based management of and access to FT(T)O agreements is possible through an internet connection between their Wizard and the www.formularium.nl website.
