Medicines use evaluations

Medicines use evaluations (MUEs) are structured quality improvement activities that assess and improve how medicines are used in clinical practice. They compare current practice against evidence-based standards, guidelines and policy to identify ways to reduce unwarranted variation, strengthen safety and effectiveness, and improve patient outcomes.

Download the Medicines Use Evaluation (MUE) Framework (PDF 316.5 KB) for practical guidance to support health services to plan and undertake local MUEs.
