Parenteral nutrition product shortages: the A.S.P.E.N. strategy

Jay M Mirtallo et al. Nutr Clin Pract. 2012 Jun.

Abstract

Product (drug) shortages have had a significant impact on the healthcare system, particularly on patients and clinicians. This has been especially true with patients requiring parenteral nutrition (PN). The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.) has dealt with PN product shortages in the past on behalf of its members and their patients. However, the shortage severity and duration have made dealing with the PN product shortages in 2010-2012 extremely challenging.
