The Hidden Cost of Drug Shortages​

Webinar | Predict Together. Act Together. How Shared Intelligence is Coordinating the Drug Supply Ecosystem 

What if drug shortages weren’t simply managed — but anticipated and mitigated before they disrupted care?
​
​Join leaders from AdventHealth, Leiters Health, Fresenius Kabi and BayCare for a candid discussion on how cross-sector collaboration is transforming pharmaceutical supply resiliency nationwide.
​
​In partnership with the End Drug Shortage Alliance (EDSA), this session will explore how health systems, manufacturers, and outsourcing facilities are aligning around shared intelligence, predictive insights, and coordinated sourcing strategies to move from reactive shortage management to proactive disruption prevention.

Panelists will share real-world perspectives on how they are:

• Identifying early warning signals and forecasting supply instability
• Making earlier, data-informed clinical and sourcing decisions
• Aligning contracting and manufacturing commitments with resiliency goals
• Building redundancy and transparency across the supply chain
• Strengthening trust and accountability between providers and suppliers.

Rather than responding to shortages after they reach the bedside, these organizations are acting upstream — stabilizing supply, supporting sustainable manufacturing, and protecting patient care.
​
This conversation will offer a practical look at how national collaboration, aligned incentives, and shared data are reshaping what’s possible in drug supply resiliency — and what your organization can do to be part of the solution.

Speakers:
​Greg Strohs, VP of Pharmacy Business Services, ​AdventHealth
Saskia Crocker, Director, Corporate Quality & Regulatory Compliance, Pharmacist-In-Charge, Leiters Health
Kyle Brauer, PharmD, MBA, Director, Centralized Pharmacy Services and Supply Chain, BayCare
Joel Rosenstack, President, Pharmaceuticals, Fresenius Kabi
Moderator: Justin Schneider Group Vice President, Strategic Sourcing, Premier, Inc.

Date: Wednesday, May 13, 2026
