Built specifically for pharmacy directors, clinical pharmacists, hospital administrators, and medication safety officers, this form captures all essential information needed to assess the shortage's impact, notify regulatory authorities like the FDA, identify therapeutic alternatives, and implement patient prioritization protocols that protect the most vulnerable populations.
The template guides your team through documenting the affected medication, estimating remaining inventory, calculating days of supply, and determining which patient populations are at highest risk. It includes fields for identifying suitable therapeutic alternatives with clinical equivalency assessments, and helps you establish clear prioritization criteria based on medical necessity and acuity.
With Paperform's conditional logic, the form automatically adapts based on shortage severity and medication class, ensuring you capture the right information for each situation. Connect your submissions directly to your pharmacy management system, EHR, or incident response platform using Stepper to trigger immediate notifications to clinical teams, update medication formularies, and coordinate cross-departmental response efforts without manual handoffs.
