What is it about?

What is already known on this subject? In Spain, the selection of medicines and health products, that must be evaluated prior to their incorporation into the Hospital Pharmacy practice, is done according to the basic criteria included in the regulations, but currently there is no explicit evaluation procedure. The present review has the purpose of identifying criteria, processes and conceptual frameworks that can serve as a basis for its development.
