“Drug shortages are complex issues that require a broad array of measures to remediate,” concluded Childs. “While these policy levers will be important tools in our arsenal, they must be complemented by private sector solutions that create the right economic incentives for new market entrants, healthy competition and fair, long-term pricing.”

Recognizing the multi-faceted issues that lead to drug shortages, Premier has a successful record of creating business solutions that remediate the vulnerabilities in the economic model, most recently with the creation of its ProvideGx program in 2019. Built on the backbone of Premier’s 15-year experience creating solutions to shared drug sourcing challenges, ProvideGx provides continuous and affordable access to shortage medications, as well as those in categories that lack competition. Premier’s drug shortage programs currently provide members access to more than 150 drugs that are or have been recently designated as shortage drugs. The programs also have successfully resolved national shortages for cysteine hydrochloride, vincristine and sterile water.
