CADTH has convened a time-limited, multidisciplinary advisory panel (the panel) to provide recommendations on a framework for developing a potential pan-Canadian prescription drug list or formulary. On behalf of the panel, CADTH invites stakeholders to provide input on a proposed framework for this potential pan-Canadian formulary. An accompanying discussion paper has been prepared to provide background information about the panel’s work. The panel was established to carry out the following:

  • develop principles and a framework that could guide the development of a potential pan-Canadian formulary
  • create a proposed sample list of commonly prescribed drugs and select related products as a test case based on a subset of the therapeutic areas that could be included on a potential pan-Canadian formulary
  • establish criteria and a transparent process that could expand the proposed sample list to other therapeutic areas, and guide how new products could be added to the list and how a proposed list could be maintained over time
