On-Demand

Drug shortages are significantly impacting pharmacy resources, staffing, budgets and patient care. With the drug shortage crisis skyrocketing, the potential for unsafe practices, compromised care and increase for potential errors also climbs. The era of data and artificial intelligence (AI) however, is reinvigorating how hospitals and health systems can manage their drug supply operations and combat the drug shortage crisis. IBM Watson Health and OrbitalRX have teamed up to provide clinical care teams the necessary technology to support their drug shortage management needs.

 

Moderated by Tina Moen, Senior Deputy Chief Health Officer & Chief Pharmacy Officer at IBM Watson Health, this panel dives into the current drug shortage crisis and how technology, such as AI, will reshape how drugs are managed within the healthcare setting in order to mitigate the harm caused by medication supply disruption.

Attendees will walk away with:

  • A deepened knowledge of the impact today's drug shortage crisis
  • The positive transformation sophisticated technology is bringing to such a widespread issue
  • How OrbitalRX, combined with IBM Micromedex, is one avenue listeners can explore to support their drug supply chain needs
