Healthcare clinicians and leaders are forced to make challenging decisions related to prioritizing medication use during times of limited access, requiring careful consideration to ensure patients with the greatest need receive medications while responsibly rationing supply. Lately, however, hospitals and health systems are being called upon to determine criteria for use for medications used to treat SARSCoV-2 infection (COVID) and medications for supportive care. This podcast focuses on the role of pharmacy and pharmacists in resource utilization oversight. If you would to hear more from leaders who have operationalized committees like this to make these important decisions in their institutions, please see the full webinar recording at ASHP elearning.org.
