Because QA is the chief interest of the Joint Commission, hospital pharmacists must strive to have a well-organized DUE plan and process. However, merely satisfying a Joint Commission surveyor is not a good enough reason to invest in the DUE process. DUE is deceptively complex and labor intensive for hospital and medical staff alike. A better reason to plunge into DUE is to enable pharmacists to concurrently monitor pharmacotherapy, to intervene on behalf of patients, and to positively affect patients' therapeutic outcomes. Thereby, DUE really fits pharmacy's responsibility for pharmaceutical care.
由于质量保证是联合委员会的主要关注点，医院药剂师必须努力制定一个组织完善的药物使用评价（DUE）计划和流程。然而，仅仅为了满足联合委员会检查员的要求而进行DUE，并不是投入该流程的充分理由。对医院和医务人员而言，DUE看似简单实则复杂，且需要耗费大量人力。投身于DUE的一个更好理由是，使药剂师能够同时监测药物治疗、代表患者进行干预，并积极影响患者的治疗结果。因此，DUE确实符合药房在药学服务方面的职责。
