I love being able to work with other organizations that are passionate about protecting patients and consumers. Increasing access to quality medicines truly does require that we come together through strategic partnerships and coalitions. USP\u2019s broad mission to build trust in the world&#8217;s medicines, dietary supplements, and foods has provided me with the opportunity to cultivate relationships with key advocacy organizations, including groups representing patients, consumers, practitioners, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry (including many members of the Health Advisory Council).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-1fcvup8-a6aa1cf10d4f9fbcfa1fadac5ea6f000'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler hasCustomColor  av-inherit-font-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2'>2.

New medicines are created every day, and COVID-19 is only accelerating this. The quantity and types of standards needed to support the quality of all these medicines require USP to be more efficient and focused in our decision-making. It also requires that we continuously engage the right partners, to ensure broad perspectives are considered which I hope to achieve by collaborating with groups like NCL as well as other members of the Health Advisory Council.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-av_toggle-0b62bf282425625cc461c8565bfcdeec'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p data-fake-id='#toggle-id-3' class='toggler hasCustomColor  av-inherit-font-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-3'>3.

Like many public health and scientific organizations, USP continues to do its part to help address the COVID-19 pandemic, in collaboration with the nearly 500 USP Convention Members and other stakeholders. I\u2019d like to highlight two recent initiatives \u2013 one that enables efficiencies in administering the COVID-19 vaccines and the other that helps strengthen resiliency and transparency within the global medicines supply chain.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usp.org\/covid-19\/vaccine-handling-toolkit\">COVID-19 Vaccine Handling Toolkit<\/a>. USP has just released a COVID-19 Vaccine Handling Toolkit that provides critical information to pharmacists, doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, health profession students, physician assistants, and others administering COVID-19 vaccines. The toolkit addresses three key areas: 1) preparation and labeling, 2) storage, handling and transport, and 3) waste and disposal. This toolkit will be updated as additional vaccines are authorized and as other information becomes available and new vaccines are approved. <a href=\"https:\/\/go.usp.org\/l\/323321\/2021-01-21\/49m7s1\">Sign up<\/a> to receive critical updates as the toolkit content is evolving quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Medicine Supply Map. The COVID-19 pandemic has stressed global supply chains, impacting the availability of products across the marketplace; this includes essential medicines, already at risk due to natural disasters and other factors that impact demand and unanticipated market fluctuations. USP created the Medicine Supply Map (MSM) to identify, characterize, and quantify risk in the pharmaceutical supply chain so that stakeholders can proactively help to protect patient access to quality medicines. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usp.org\/supply-chain\/medicine-supply-map\">Learn more about the MSM<\/a>, how the data may help you and your stakeholders protect patients from the impact of drug shortages, and partnership opportunities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-so7k7g-3b27a1975e9803c19f031f69b440c593'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p data-fake-id='#toggle-id-4' class='toggler hasCustomColor  av-inherit-font-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-4'>4.

I am amazed at how much the Council has grown in both size and scope since my time at NCL and am especially proud to now represent USP as one of the founding members. The Council\u2019s consistent and informative communication, thoughtful guest speakers, and platform for engagement provide critical perspectives that help shape and inform USP\u2019s strategic focus and future initiatives. The Health Advisory Council also demonstrates the power of collaboration- which is a cornerstone of USP\u2019s work. If we are going to mitigate the impact of this pandemic we need to instill trust in the vaccine and that will take a combination of our skills in order to do that.<\/p>\n<p>USP is proud to be a part of the Health Advisory Council with our shared goals to provide patient access to quality medicines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"style-css-av-8jyao-093080a8eb53a75b5cc65d0d2374c7c2\">\n#top .flex_column.av-8jyao-093080a8eb53a75b5cc65d0d2374c7c2{\nborder-radius:0px;\n-webkit-border-radius:0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px;\npadding:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-8jyao-093080a8eb53a75b5cc65d0d2374c7c2 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'   ><style type=\"text\/css\" id=\"style-css-av-kbhy6q5i-e0fbc458a19841712a97fe193fe83a2d\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kbhy6q5i-e0fbc458a19841712a97fe193fe83a2d .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kbhy6q5i-e0fbc458a19841712a97fe193fe83a2d av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-10  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-16495 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-16495 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASonderman-238x300.jpg\" alt='' title='ASonderman'  height=\"300\" width=\"238\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASonderman-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASonderman-817x1030.jpg 817w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASonderman-768x968.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASonderman-1219x1536.jpg 1219w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASonderman-1190x1500.jpg 1190w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASonderman-559x705.jpg 559w, https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ASonderman.jpg 1383w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 238px) 100vw, 238px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16495,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16492"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16492"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16492\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19972,"href":"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16492\/revisions\/19972"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nclnet.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
