Development Process

Consensus statements from the teaching hospitals of NSW focussing
on high cost or controversial therapy. They are peer-reviewed
and evidence based.
A Targeted Literature Review provides a rapid
collation of published literature evidence to support DTC decision making. It does not provide a critical evaluation of the literature, nor does it
make recommendations about place in therapy of the medicine in question. However, it can
be produced much more quickly than a Position Statement, and is therefore of value to DTCs
in managing formulary decisions.
NSW TAG has produced tools for evaluating the performance of Drug and Therapeutics Committees, and for the measurement of the Quality Use of Medicines in Australian hospitals.
Prescribing guidelines that are intended to assist general practitioners
and other primary care clinicians managing patients with chronic
or recurrent pain. They focus on rational use of opioids in migraine,
low back pain and other chronic or recurrent pain.

All NSW TAG resources published prior to 2000 are considered 'not current' and have been archived for information only.
These include guidance documents which are designed to assist
public hospitals in formulating local policy, including the draft
Drug and Therapeutics Committee Template for Formulary Submission
toolkit.
