The roles and contributions of pharmacists in Shanghai during the coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are described in this report. Five pharmacists
have been appointed as members of an expert interdisciplinary health care team
tasked with taking care of all adult patients with COVID-19 in Shanghai in a
designated hospital, the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center (SPHCC). They
work with pharmacists at SPHCC, having responsibilities that include drug
supplies, dispensing, pharmacy intravenous admixture services (PIVAS),
prescription audits, medication reconciliations, pharmacotherapy, therapeutic
drug monitoring, and patient education. Due to the pandemic, pharmacy operations
in all hospitals are modified to adhere to guidelines for infection risk
mitigation and personnel protection. Community pharmacies serve as the public
access point to health care and medical supplies, providing services beyond
dispensing and medication counselling. The establishment of internet hospitals
(telehealth facilities) provide new opportunities for delivering pharmaceutical
care and working with health care professionals. Pharmacists also participate in
evaluating new treatments and keeping health care teams informed of new findings
for potential treatment considerations. In response to the critical need for
health care professionals in Wuhan, 68 pharmacists from different parts of the
country went there to work with the local pharmacists. Through assuming new roles
and adapting existing practice, pharmacists have acquired invaluable experiences
for future practice advancement. In order to assume these responsibilities
effectively, pharmacists need to be equipped with the necessary skills for
meeting the evolving health care challenges.
