Today, at the ISPE Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, an important new tool in the battle against drug shortages will debut. The “Drug Shortages Assessment and Prevention Tool” drew on feedback from ISPE 2013 Drug Shortages Survey and 2014 Drug Shortages Prevention Plan, and focuses on the prevention and practical application to help industry assess its preparedness for mitigating drug shortages.
Serving as a member of the pharmaceutical industry is a privilege that brings with it significant personal responsibility. In recent years, preventing and mitigating drug shortages has become a critical concern for every pharmaceutical professional. ISPE is leading an international effort to understand, assess, and educate patients, providers, regulators, and manufacturers on this critical topic.
