Fighting COVID-19 — All hands on Deck

March 17, 2021 by Chuck DiTrapano RPh

Complimentary COVID-19 Preparation and Administration Resources are Now Available on RxTOOLKIT.com

RxTOOLKIT has created new interactive RxWORKFLOW for IV Safety Preparation and Administration Worksheets for the currently available COVID-19 monoclonal antibody products and you can get now them for free! Please read on to find out how.

COVID-19 has presented a significant challenge to all healthcare organizations, large and small. Maintaining appropriate staffing levels and ensuring patients have access to the necessary therapies are just a couple of examples of the issues they face.

Big problems present big challenges. Big challenges present big opportunities — Opportunities to work together, as a community, to bring about a better outcome for everyone. A viable vaccine produced in months rather than years. Treatment protocols with life saving monoclonal antibody treatments, launched in record time, utilizing the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) process. The time calls for all hands on deck.

While there is a need to expedite treatment in times like these, we can’t compromise on patient safety – And RxTOOLKIT® is here to help.

Currently the FDA has introduced three COVID-19 vaccines and three monoclonal antibody drug therapies (though one has since been revoked). RxTOOLKIT has kept abreast of the new drug launches (as well as the frequent updates that have occurred) and immediately launched RxWORKFLOW for IV Safety™ drug monographs for the monoclonal antibody drugs, as well as RxWORKFLOW for Vaccine Safety drug monographs for the approved COVID-19 vaccines. We also launched drug-specific courses to train and track ongoing staff competency for these therapies in RxTOOLKIT eLEARNING™.

In addition, collaborating with the National Infusion Center Association (NICA) and the US Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 Monoclonal Antibodies Therapeutic Team, we have created several new RxWORKFLOW Drug Preparation and Administration Worksheets to be provided to their users and to be featured as part of our comprehensive clinician support resource, RxWORKFLOW for IV Safety.

These worksheets are designed to establish a consistent process by including automatic dose and administration calculations and step-by-step instructions for chairside/bedside administration of these new lifesaving drugs.

As industry leaders in providing tools that emphasize patient safety and the importance of a standardized process to the infusion therapy provider community, we also wanted to make certain ALL providers, clinicians, and patients could benefit from these medication safety tools.

Current RxTOOLKIT clients can access these tools once logged in by clicking the link at the top of the page for Complimentary COVID-19 Resources: RxWORKFLOW Preparation and Administration Worksheets.

If you are not a current RxTOOLKIT client, you will need to fill out a simple form in order to request your complimentary access: Click here to go directly to the Complimentary COVID-19 Resources Request Form.

It is our hope that by sharing these tools, either directly or through our strategic partnerships, and through the tireless efforts of our healthcare community, we can significantly diminish the more severe consequences of this COVID-19 virus.
