Drug Utilization Review (DUR) and Quality Metrics
This dataset provides comprehensive records of drug utilization reviews, capturing findings such as polypharmacy, inappropriate prescribing, Beers Criteria violations, and HEDIS pharmacy measure compliance. It also tracks quality improvement interventions and links each review to patient and prescriber details, enabling robust analysis of medication safety and prescribing practices. Ideal for healthcare quality improvement, regulatory reporting, and clinical research.
