PwC: COVID-19: Six things health organizations should be considering

1. Understand the care patterns of the populations most at risk - the frail elderly and those with respiratory diseases.
2. The US has many more ways to get care than it did during 2009’s H1N1 pandemic. Use them.
3. For a population sitting at home, think of the retail pharmacy as a "last mile" player.
4. Telehealth can help keep the moderately sick and chronically ill safer.
5. Strategies on social determinants of health can be an advantage in pandemic response.
6. The FDA's response in the crisis could allow more companies to fulfill needs but slow others down.
