Drug Use Research & Management

Overview

At the Drug Use Research and Management (DURM) group, our mission is to promote safe, effective, innovative, and financially sustainable drug policies through dedicated service, comprehensive research, and high-quality education. As a part of the Oregon State University College of Pharmacy, we partner with the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to provide essential support and expertise for their pharmacy programs.

Our responsibilities include administering the Oregon Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) Committee, evaluating drug utilization, offering drug information and policy analysis, and providing Medicaid provider education and drug therapy consultations. We strive to ensure the best outcomes for Oregon’s Medicaid population by developing and maintaining efficient and effective drug use policies.
