A4 - Quality platforms to support hospitals in managing COVID-19: Learnings and opportunities
Organised in collaboration with FIP’s Hospital Pharmacy Section
Chair(s)
Introduction
Emergency management can be broken down into four different phases: 1- Reduction (risk mitigation); 2- Readiness (preparedness); 3-Response; and 4- Recovery.
Population growth, changes in food systems, environmental degradation and more frequent contact between humans and disease-harbouring animals are increasing the risk of another pandemic. Thus, it is necessary to take the time to learn about the challenges and opportunities facing hospital pharmacies during this pandemic.
The main areas of focus in this session will be:
– Clinical pharmacy practice during pandemic
– The role of hospital pharmacy in mass vaccination
– Drug shortages
– Use of technology
