Impact of COVID-19 on Revenue in a Mid-sized Hospital Pharmacy

Abstract

COVID-19 had socio-economic influence. There are no surveys on revenue in hospital pharmacies. Therefore, we conducted such a survey in one hospital that actively admitted patients with COVID-19 during the pandemic period. Although the decrease in medication counseling was smaller due to efficiency by preparing a pamphlet on the use of steroid therapy for COVID-19, revenue still decreased by about 660 dollars per month. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on hospital pharmacy revenue.
