The recent COVID-19 pandemics cause a surge in the capacity of pharmaceutical care. The COVID-19 Emergency Hospital Wisma Atlet Kemayoran (CEH WAK) is caring for a large number of COVID-19 patients;therefore need to provide a sufficient number of medics. Due to the shortage of pharmacy personnel in this hospital, making a task shifting in pharmaceutical care is an important factor to consider. In this regard, the distribution of medical supplies to COVID-19 patients that should be done by pharmacy personnel is delegated to nurses. However, if this process is not equipped with proper-related knowledge and skills, it may have a risk of medication errors that may worsen the quality of health care. This study is aimed as an overview of task shifting that occurred at Emergency Hospital Wisma Atlet Kemayoran then analyzed with a literature review to discuss how the implementation of task shifting should work. The Task Shifting implementation at CEH WAK through observation gives a low-risk error result but must be maintained with developed and controlled under the coordination and supervision of the profession concerned.
