ASHP welcomes comments on its draft guidance documents from ASHP members and other qualified individuals. The table below lists the draft guidance documents for which ASHP seeks comments. To view a document, click on its title. (You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the documents.) To submit comments, click on "Submit Comments" in the Comment column.

Some things to consider when reviewing the draft documents include:

1. Is the guidance or statement of position clear? Is the issue a concern for pharmacists or their patients?

2. Does the background adequately explain the need for the guidance document?

3. Is the guidance sound, based on your experience and your understanding of practice and the literature on the topic? Are the references current, and do they support the guidance or position? (ASHP guidance documents are not intended to be comprehensive reviews of the literature, but supportive references should be cited.)

4. Will the guidance help pharmacists improve patient outcomes or the efficiency of care?

5. Please keep in mind the differing purposes of ASHP guidance documents. ASHP statements express basic philosophy, and guidelines offer programmatic advice. Therapeutic position statements are concise responses to specific therapeutic issues, and therapeutic guidelines are thorough, evidence-based recommendations on medication use.

When submitting comments, you will be required to provide your name, title, and contact information (including an email address).
