The cost and impact of drug shortages

Drug shortages have a significant impact on patient health and create extraordinary challenges for pharmacy and procurement leaders, including:

Negative impact on patient care

Drug shortages often result in delays or cancellations in medical procedures, and limited treatment options.

Increased operational cost

Shortages and consequential delays increase labor cost for companies and increase drug costs by 15-30% on average.

Loss of credibility and business

Companies may lose credibility with customers, who go to competitors, resulting in a loss of 5–7% of sales annually.
