"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a classic quote that is still heard. Although health professionals strive for continuous improvement in the understanding, prevention, and treatment of pathology, they commonly ignore the system for health care delivery. DUE provides an effective mechanism for continuous examination of the system and improvement of patient outcome as it relates to drug therapy. The movement toward integration of DUE and clinical profiles will bring the Medical Center closer to realizing the ultimate goal of total quality care.
“如果没坏，就别修它”是一句仍被人传颂的经典名言。尽管医疗专业人员努力在病理学的理解、预防和治疗方面不断改进，但他们通常忽视了医疗服务提供体系。药物利用评价（DUE）提供了一种有效的机制，用于持续检查该体系并改善与药物治疗相关的患者治疗结果。将药物利用评价与临床概况相结合的举措将使医疗中心更接近实现全面优质护理的最终目标。
