Establishing a prophylactic drug dispensing clinic: the University of Rhode Island model.
The purpose of this guide is to assist community and university planners in developing and implementing a medication Point of Dispensing plan and conducting a Point of Dispensing drill. Key planning strategies addressed include community assessment, resource coordination, community partnerships, physical plant considerations, and multifunction considerations that will assist community planners to better prepare for bioterrorism or naturally occurring infectious disease events.
