Creation, implementation, and impact of an emergency medicine formulary and therapeutics subcommittee at a large health system
The formation of the SEMT underscores the value of specialized subcommittees within large healthcare systems to address the unique needs of specific clinical environments. The committee's work has improved patient safety and care efficiency, as well as delivered cost savings, making it a valuable model for other large health systems seeking to enhance their emergency medicine therapeutics. As healthcare organizations continue to grow, integrating such focused subcommittees can lead to improved outcomes and a more standardized approach to evidence-based care.
