Baxter's Intravenous Fluids North Cove Plant was impacted in September by Hurricane Helene. Although Baxter implemented a hurricane preparedness plan, a levy breach and bridge collapse forced a complete shutdown. Intravenous fluids are now on allocation as the plant remains shuttered. Multiple actions by the FDA and Baxter are in effect to improve supply for these fluids. Vizient colleagues Katie Korte, VP Assurance and Continuity Team and Kyle Hoelting, Senior Clinical Manager of Drug Information and Shortages join Stacy Lauderdale, Associate Vice president of Evidence-based Medicine today to discuss lessons learned from this and past supply disruptions, ongoing efforts by the FDA to improve supplies and the supply outlook for the next four to eight weeks
