Drug shortages continue to present significant operational, clinical, and financial challenges for pharmacy leaders, requiring real-time coordination, escalation protocols, and cross-functional alignment across the enterprise. This highly interactive session will focus on how IDNs are responding to ongoing and emerging shortages, including mitigation strategies, communication frameworks, and approaches to maintaining continuity of care. Rather than a formal presentation, the session is structured as an open, facilitated discussion with active participation from all attendees.
Join pharmacy executives in a peer-to-peer dialogue led by a senior facilitator, designed to surface real-world strategies and shared experiences in managing drug shortages.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify key drivers and patterns contributing to ongoing drug shortages across the pharmaceutical supply chain.
2. Analyze operational and clinical strategies used by IDNs to mitigate shortage impacts.
3. Evaluate communication and escalation frameworks that support effective shortage management.
4. Share peer-based approaches for maintaining continuity of care during supply disruptions.
