The Drug Information Service’s definition of a drug shortage is broader than the one used by the Food and Drug Administration.
The drug shortage data, collected quarterly, is generated from reports from health-care professionals, most of them pharmacists at hospitals and health systems, said Erin Fox, the lead researcher and the Drug Information Service’s director.
Researchers follow up by contacting drug companies to verify that a shortage exists, and if so, why and how long it’s expected to last, Fox added. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, in turn, publishes the findings on its website,than the one used by the Food and Drug Administration, so the Utah shortage numbers are generally larger than the FDA’s.
