Statement of Need/Program Overview
|
The overall response to the COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, demonstrated the lack of preparedness that many organizations had for a health care pandemic. Lessons learned from the COVID-19 crisis can serve valuable guidance for managed care organizations (MCOs) and various health systems so that they can better prepare for a pandemic situation. Several strategies emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic that are important to utilize and to optimize costs and resource utilization during pandemic situations. These include the increased use of telehealth, increased home delivery of medications, early refills, as well as transferring patients to homecare when possible. This educational activity is designed to improve the knowledge and competence among managed care and health system professionals regarding the need to develop a pandemic preparedness plan that includes these strategies to reduce cost and provide optimal patient care during a pandemic.
