Drug shortages are an ongoing challenge leading to a variety of downstream effects including medication errors, disruptions in patient care, treatment delays, increased risk of mortality, increased risk of adverse events, and increased costs to the patient. There are many economic factors that contribute to supply disruptions, leading to drug shortages. It is imperative for pharmacists to understand the root causes of drug shortages and opportunities to help prevent or mitigate these shortages. This 1-hour non-CE educational activity reviews root causes and economic factors that contribute to sterile injectable supply disruptions and drug shortages, while providing collaborative solutions for supply availability and ensuring long-term sustainability.
