AI's role in turning drug shortage chaos into control


Thursday, October 30th, 2025 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT

Drug shortages are no longer isolated events. They're routine, costly — and deeply disruptive to patient care, pharmacy workflows and operating margins.

But reacting in real time only goes so far. Without a predictive strategy, emergency buys and missed formulary targets become business as usual.

This webinar explores how AI is helping pharmacy and supply chain teams move from reactive firefighting to forward-looking planning — with unified data from the FDA, vendors, and purchasing systems.

Attendees will see how confidence scoring and shortage duration forecasting can help guide executive decisions, strengthen sourcing and protect continuity of care.

Insights include:
 
  • The true financial toll of reactive management and why it's unsustainable
  • How unified data sets deliver predictive alerts before shortages hit your shelves
  • Ways to operationalize proactivity through scenario planning, automated sourcing and leadership playbooks
