The Goals of the Pharmacotherapy Information Center (PIC) are to:

1. Provide novel informatics applications to enhance individualized drug therapy for patients through evidence-based prescribing and complement electronic health records systems by providing integrated pharmacoinformatics applications.
2. Implement an electronic Pharmacy and Therapeutics (eP&T) Committee Network to support formulary development and management among small hospitals and community health systems and to provide quarterly eNewsletters
3. Provide an online mechanism for Medication Regimen Review to foster evidence-based applied therapeutics.

5. Provide formalized drug information to IRBs.
6. Provide a web-based mechanism for practicing pharmacists to gain new skills for drug information retrieval and interpretation through the Office of Post-graduate Education.
7. Establish a central resource for pharmacoinformatics activities completed by Doctor of Pharmacy students and post-doctoral residents to be accessed by regional health systems and prescribers.
8. Develop didactic courses at UB for health sciences professionals in all aspects of pharmacoinformatics.
