I choose Mass Casualty Incident as the point. Because I think there is nothing more serious than a pharmacy having a medical error that also means getting a patient dead or injured.

Impact

What I/We Would Do About It

1. Improper use of raw materials by pharmaceutical companies

From time to time, send professional staffs to randomly inspect drug companies.

2. Pharmaceutical company's pharmaceutical process irregularities

Give regular training to pharmacists. When dispensing pharmacists to patients, medications should be checked to verify the authenticity and integrity of their safety attributes

3. Pharmaceutical company fabricates some quality test results

Recall all sold drugs and compensate victims

Filing a lawsuit for compensation

4. The pharmaceutical company shipped the product even after discovering the abnormality

If discovered before no patient use, take the legal route for a warning. If already distributed to the patient. Whether by mail or phone, or report to the police, inform directly at home.

5. The drug delivery vehicle did not control the temperature of the specific drug. For example, the Pfizer covid19 vaccine. Before mixing, the vaccine may be stored in the refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F) for up to 1 month (31 days).

Delivery carts and cvs storage are equipped with real-time temperature monitoring systems. Timely alarms are issued if temperature changes are encountered. In case of power failure, emergency battery backup can be activated in time. Once the temperature cannot be preserved, destroy in time.

6. Expired medications are not disposed of in a timely manner and are used on patients

Contact the manufacturer for guidance. If directed to discard any remaining vials, follow the manufacturer's and your jurisdiction's guidance for proper disposal.

7. Doctor prescribes wrong medicine

Regular training and evaluation of physicians. The level of the doctor's pharmacist is traceable.

8. In the event of a major accident, the local hospital does not have enough medical material reserves.

For example, during a pandemic, there is a shortage of masks and hand sanitizer. Hospitals should have priority in getting.

9. drug shortages, for example, insulin

Emergency procurement from abroad

10. Fire at cvs headquarters

All the active fire protection systems are updated and in perfect conditions (alarms, sprinklers, fire extinguishers…) to ease the extinction.

Do not pick up any belonging.

If trapped, look for a place with an outdoor window where you can be seen from to the rescue teams.
