About the Appropriate Use Coalition

The Appropriate Use Coalition brings together 11 organizations that are working collectively to improve the appropriate prescribing and use of medications in Canada.

Initially formed in 2023, the Appropriate Use Coalition is a grassroots group comprised of health care organizations and public representation that is committed to improving patient outcomes and reducing risks through appropriate prescribing.

The focus of the Appropriate Use Coalition is to share information and evidence, reduce duplication among different appropriate use programs across the country, and collaborate on key projects to achieve more together than could alone.
