Customize Shortages
Track and manage drug shortages in your hospital with a comprehensive approach that spans national trends and site-specific needs. Automatically cross-reference your purchasing and inventory data with shortage intelligence from the FDA and ASHP. In addition to national trends, add custom shortage tracking into your workflow to ensure your hospital is always prepared for local and site-specific supply challenges, keeping you ahead of critical shortages.
