1. A system for analyzing a drug data set for clinical appropriateness, comprising:
- an input device for inputting a first drug data set to be analyzed, the first drug data set having a plurality of drugs and associated with each drug, a plurality of data elements comprising data relevant to administration of the drug to patients, the data elements including dosing information;
a memory having an established drug data set, the established drug data set having a plurality of drugs and associated with each drug, a plurality of data elements comprising data relevant to administration of the drug to patients, the data elements including dosing information;
a processor connected with the memory to receive the established drug data set and connected to the input device to receive the first drug data set, the processor programmed to compare the first drug data set against the established drug data set, the comparison including identifying matches between the drugs of the first drug data set with the drugs of the established drug data set and comparing the dosing information of any identified matches; and
a reporting device connected with the processor to report the results of the comparison.
