Below are resources and work our member organizations are doing to address drug shortages. 

RISCS
​Predictiveness and Utility of the RISC Rating System™ in Identifying Supply Chain Risks and Preventing Drug Shortages

The RISC Rating System™ evaluates the resilience of pharmaceutical supply chains and helps drug purchasers to identify the manufacturers that are investing in their supply chains.

Vizient, Angels for Change & USP
Quantifying drivers of supply chain resilience in pediatric oncology medications

Report characterizing and quantifying supply chain risk for drugs to improve pediatric oncology access to quality medicines.

ASHP
Drug Shortages Resource Page

Drug Shortage Resources Page links to many resources including drug shortage statistics, guidelines and tools, publications, surveys, and FAQs. ​

Vizient
Evaluating the Impact of the Oncology Drug Shortage

This paper analyzes the current suppliers and market conditions for each of these seven oncology drugs and the factors contributing to their shortage status in the U.S.​​

Vizient & RISCS
Pilot Program to Improve Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Resilience

A joint pilot program aimed at enhancing assurance of pharmaceutical supply. Once implemented, the program would use a rating system to enable the evaluation of critical aspects of a resilient supply chain and provide increased transparency.

Vizient & CHA
Pediatric Drug Shortage Trends and Best Practices for Mitigation Strategies 

A report examining the impact of drug shortages on self-governed pediatric hospitals, and the strategies employed to manage and mitigate these shortages.

CHA
A New Approach to Mitigate Drug Shortages

A 90-day pilot program provides pediatric hospitals with over 140,000 essential medicine treatments and paves the way for a more resilient supply chain for our most vulnerable patients. ​

ASHP
Severity and Impact of Current Drug Shortages

The survey results include responses from 1,123 participants who answered at least part of the online questionnaire. The survey was conducted from June 23 through July 14, 2023.

Angels for Change
​Project PROTECT

The goal of Project PROTECT is to partner with the pharmaceutical supply chain to protect essential medicines vulnerable to drug shortage. The project aims to bolster the supply chain by increasing production of vulnerable medicine during times of shortage. 

RISCS
​The RISC Rating System™

The RISC Rating System
is an independent, standardized rating/certification process that uses manufacturer-reported data to compare supply chain sustainability at the NDC level.

CHA
  Creating a New Supply Chain for Continuous Albuterol

Children’s hospitals and their partners convene to ensure stable supply of albuterol for pediatric patients amid a critical and prolonged shortage.  

Vizient
Drug Shortages and Labor Costs - Measuring a Hidden Cost of Drug Shortages on U.S. Hospitals
