Abstract

Survey Finds That Medication and Supply Shortages Are Harming Patients

ECRI and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices have released findings from a survey of 200 pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, procurement specialists, physicians, and nurses on shortages of medications and medical supplies and equipment and their effect on patient care; 86% of the respondents worked in hospitals. Overall, 60% of the respondents reported shortages of more than 20 medications, disposable supplies, and medical devices in the previous six months. They also reported that these shortages have affected the quality of care they provide related to surgery and anesthesia (74%), emergency care (64%), pain management (52%), cardiology (45%), hematology and oncology (44%), infectious diseases (39%), and obstetrics and gynecology (37%). Fifty percent of respondents indicated that the shortages have canceled or postponed treatment (eg, surgery) for patients, 33% indicated that they could not provide care with optimal medications or treatments (eg, administering more opioid anelgesia because of lidocaine shortages), and 25% indicated that at least one error has occurred as a result of a shortage.
