WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Now that the FDA has approved two different COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use, Annie Lambert, PharmD, BCSCP, clinical program manager, Wolters Kluwer, Health advises that hospitals keep in mind the following five things when managing the vaccine doses:
-
Expect systems to evolve:
Surprise: extra doses! Empower pharmacy administrators to make changes to keep up with information changing daily -

Hardcopy or Excel temperature monitoring and storage management tracking is not enough. Cloud-based tools ensure access anywhere, increase visibility and automate vaccine management workflow -
Streamline & standardize compounding processes:
Ensure standardized vaccine preparation and dilution, and control beyond-use dates to cut waste. -
Keep up competencies:
Update and schedule custom competencies on vaccine storage, dispensing, and administration -
Data, Data, Data:
Report results effectively on compliance, completion volume, staff training, and quality
