HealthTrust presents…“Virtual HTU: “I Know What We Did Last Shortage—Mitigating Medication Safety Risks Related to Drug Shortages”

Healthcare professionals deal continuously with drug shortages. Tasked to swiftly address shortages with limited information, they must ensure continuity of care for patients by pivoting quickly to alternate products or therapies. This can lead to gaps in the processes normally taken for product evaluation and stakeholder education. Despite best efforts, this can introduce risks that can go unrecognized until an error or delay in therapy occurs. Presenters will cover the importance of sharing knowledge with teams specific to the systems and workflows affected within the supply chain and medication management cycle and how, with proper awareness and tools, risks related to drug shortages can be reduced.

Learning Objectives | At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

1. Identify strategies to incorporate risk mitigation plans into the drug shortage response plan.
2. Recognize potential risks to systems and workflows that can occur with a drug shortage.
3. Recall risks and mitigation strategies related to medication safety during drug shortages.
