To share an independent pharmacy's experience creating a practical manual for disaster preparedness that incorporates applicable pharmacy regulations, provides a plan to prepare a community pharmacy for disasters, and addresses the pharmacy's duty to the community during disasters.
A literature search was performed to determine if such a manual or a guide had been published previously. The search returned examples of expectations of hospitals during disasters, but few results were specific to community pharmacy. An Internet search for pharmacy contingency planning returned only a few checklists and descriptive reports of pharmacist involvement in past disasters.
Public resources available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Environmental Protection Agency, Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Public Health, Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Community Pharmacists Association, and American Pharmacists Association were explored. The Iowa State Board of Pharmacy also was contacted. Information was compiled to create a useful guide that addressed disaster planning, risk assessment, and public need during a disaster and that prioritized the needs of the pharmacy and community.
Every community pharmacy should have a detailed disaster preparedness manual that is readily accessible and easy to follow. The manual created for Valley Drug focused on continuing pharmacy operations while minimizing disruptions in patient care during a disaster. Our manual included only necessary information required to prepare for, operate during, or recover from a disaster.
分享一家独立药房在制定灾难准备实用手册方面的经验，该手册纳入了适用的药房法规，为社区药房的灾难准备制定了计划，并解决了药房在灾难期间对社区的责任。
进行了文献检索，以确定是否已经出版过这样的手册或指南。检索结果显示了医院在灾难期间的预期，但很少有结果专门针对社区药房。对药房应急计划的互联网搜索仅返回了一些检查表和药剂师参与过去灾难的描述性报告。
探索了疾病控制与预防中心、环境保护署、美国缉毒局、公共卫生部、联邦紧急事务管理局、全国社区药剂师协会和美国药剂师协会提供的公共资源。还联系了爱荷华州药剂师委员会。收集信息以创建一个有用的指南，该指南解决了灾难规划、风险评估和灾难期间的公众需求，并优先考虑了药房和社区的需求。
每家社区药房都应该有一个详细的灾难准备手册，该手册易于获取且易于遵循。为 Valley Drug 创建的手册侧重于在灾难期间继续开展药房业务，同时尽量减少对患者护理的干扰。我们的手册仅包含准备、运营或从灾难中恢复所需的必要信息。
