The United States could face a health care crisis of an entirely different nature as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Health care professionals are warning about patients avoiding emergency rooms and office visits. Further, childhood vaccine rates are dropping to dangerous levels. Read about this perfect storm for health care in the latest AMCP CEO Blog.
The important role of pharmacists in providing front-line patient care has become even more pressing during the current pandemic. AMCP CEO Susan Cantrell, RPh, CAE writes about pharmacists' expanding role in the time of COVID-19.
Our community is extremely grateful the Administration and Congress took swift action to help businesses, nonprofits and millions of Americans withstand the coronavirus pandemic, which jeopardizes our collective livelihood, welfare and safety. Provisions within the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act will prove vital to help stabilize our economy and keep Americans safe.
We, as patients, consumers, taxpayers, health care providers, payers, and members of the pharmaceutical and medical device pipeline, are ready to work with The President's Administration to ensure that America’s patients and our health care system receive the treatments they need throughout this public health crisis.
These are trying times, especially for health care practitioners. Together, as managed care pharmacy professionals, we face challenges to patient care. AMCP CEO Susan A. Cantrell, RPh, CAE addresses these unique challenges in her latest blog post.
