What assumptions has Rx Response made in its planning effort?
Emergency planning is a process and not an event. We recognize that there are many agencies, both public and private, that must respond during a severe public health emergency and communicate with biopharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, community or chain pharmacies, prescribers, healthcare providers and relief organizations to help ensure continued delivery of medicines to people who need them. We also recognize that, given different emergency scenarios including natural disasters, bioterrorism or a pandemic, a wide variety of communications alternatives may need to be employed in order to minimize disruptions.
