2022 Stronger - P161 - Doubling Down on Recalls and Defects - On Demand

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in severe product shortages and unavailability of materials, increasing the impact of recalls and defects on our health system. High volumes of recalls and defects increase the possibility of patient or staff exposure to potentially harmful or ineffective products. With an external audit serving as a catalyst for change, corporate supply chain at Yale New Haven Health System reconstructed our recall and defect management programs. These two exemplary programs leapfrogged organizational operation capabilities in arguably the most challenging of times, earning national recognition from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for proactive contribution to product recalls.
