Pharmacy and therapeutics committees can use pharmacoeconomic and outcome studies as tools to evaluate and implement clinical guidelines for patient care. Results of studies help optimize the clinical effects and control the costs of drug therapy. Such data also assist in positioning products in competitive environments. A four-part classification of research studies is offered as an aid to strategic research planning.
