How Leading Pharmacies Stay Stocked And Protect Margins


Thursday, July 23rd, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT 

Health system pharmacies are operating in one of the toughest supply environments in years. Shortages regularly reach all-time highs, drug pricing dynamics keep shifting and supply chain gaps drain margins a pharmacy can't afford to lose.

Most purchasing and procurement leaders know the pressure but lack a clear, data-backed plan to act on it. Decisions get made under constraint, GPO pricing discrepancies go unnoticed and small losses compound invoice by invoice.

This webinar draws on real pharmacy supply data to give leaders a practical playbook for smarter purchasing. It breaks down the biggest supply chain challenges facing pharmacies today, shares industry benchmarks and shows how high-performing pharmacies are controlling costs and staying stocked.

Insights include:
 
  • How a broader vendor portfolio and purchasing strategy drives meaningful drug spend savings and adds flexibility when disruptions hit
  • How GPO pricing discrepancies cost pharmacies and what high-performing teams do to close the gap
  • How vendor substitutions and invoice inaccuracies cut into margins and how to catch them
  • How a unified supply approach keeps teams proactive on shortages and reduces manual purchasing work
