But a breakthrough may be close as emerging advanced technology and improved communication among industry, policymakers and providers are increasing the options available for alleviating this crisis. Those efforts could hold the potential to make these drug shortages and the ethical dilemma inherent in the patient–provider relationship obsolete.
