SESSION II:
INTEGRATING STRATEGIES: FRAMEWORKS, TECHNOLOGIES,
TOOLS, AND INNOVATIONS
Session Objective: Review the innovations, tools, technologies, and
frameworks (e.g., inventorying control and tracking, and registries) that
are being used by sectors not traditionally included in the public health
system. Discuss what action steps are required to integrate these
strategies into the current public health system. Examine potential
solutions to address:
1. Generate potential strategies to address improvement in
current methods of dispensing countermeasures;
2. Explore feasibility of “outsourcing” the dispensing
operation to a private-sector entity; and
3. Identify current business capabilities/solutions to
develop novel dispensing methods.
