Activity Overview

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. This happens most often in the setting of a medication shortage. 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. ASHP guidelines on managing medications in short supply calls for the development of an interprofessional resource allocation committee to oversee allocation of scarce medications and resources. In this webinar, hear from leaders who have operationalized committees like this to make these important decisions in their institutions.

Accreditation

The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education.

Target Audience

This activity was planned to meet the educational needs of ASHP members engaged in or seeking to engage in decisions related to allocating limited access to medications to patients that meet criteria for use.

Learning Objectives

  • Discuss appropriate treatment for a child diagnosed with influenza based on current evidence.
  • Explain the need for establishing criteria for use for medications in short supply;
    Develop a framework to develop and operationalize decisions related to medication selection for high priority patient populations; and

Disclosures

In accordance with the ACPE's and ACCME's Standards for Commercial Support, anyone in a position to control the content of an educational activity is required to disclose to the accredited provider their relevant financial relationships. In accordance with these Standards, all potential conflicts of interest have been resolved. An individual has a relevant financial relationship if he or she (or spouse/domestic partner) has a financial relationship in any amount occurring in the last 12 months with a commercial interest whose products or services are discussed in the activity content over which the individual has control.

As defined by ACCME, a commercial interest is any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients. The Standards for Commercial Support do not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests. The existence or non-existence of relevant financial relationships will be disclosed to the activity audience. All identified conflicts of interest must be resolved prior to the activity.

  • All planners, presenters, reviewers, and ASHP staff report no financial relationships relevant to this activity.
