Continuous quality improvement methods have the potential to improve processes that cross several disciplines. The medication system is one in which coordination of activities between physicians, pharmacists, and nurses is essential for optimal therapy to occur. DUE services can play an important role in helping to ensure that patients receive high-quality pharmaceutical care. It is necessary for pharmacy managers to review the structure, goals, and outcomes of their DUE programs to ensure that they are consistent with a philosophy of continuous improvement in the quality of drug therapy.

Hypervitaminosis A is a well-recognized clinical entity, but the toxic manifestations develop so insidiously and involve so many systems that diagnosis can easily be missed or delayed. A patient with juvenile chronic arthritis developed benign intracranial hypertension and other manifestations of excessive vitamin A intake and made a complete recovery after it was withdrawn. Vitamin A is a non-prescription drug and any history of its ingestion must be obtained during evaluation of papilloedema. A plea is made for the public to be repeatedly reminded that no proposed remedy is safe or effective until it is demonstrated to be so.
