Abstract

The Veterans’ Health Administration requires Prior Authorization Drug Review (PADR) evaluations for restricted formulary medications based on established criteria for use. The purpose of this study was to be able to characterize a clinical course using a combination of PADR notes and a developed ontology for treating chronic hyperkalemia, and non-treatment-related factors resulting in a physician’s request for the restricted-formulary agent patiromer, a newer agent for the treatment of chronic hyperkalemia.
