Overview
The Ohio DUR program is a provider-oriented, educational outreach program designed to alert physicians and pharmacists to inappropriate or medically unnecessary pharmacological care. The purpose of the program is to safeguard the health of Medicaid consumers, to assess the appropriateness of drug therapy, and to reduce the frequency of fraud, abuse and gross overuse.

Objectives
The primary objectives of the DUR program are to improve health care through educational intervention and the elimination/reduction of drug-induced illness or hospitalizations and the need for remedial care or treatment and cost savings.
