Drug shortages continue to be a significant issue in the healthcare system, affecting various aspects of patient care and imposing substantial costs on hospitals and health systems. According to Vizient's 2024 drug shortages survey, U.S. hospitals are spending approximately 20 million hours annually managing these shortages, resulting in nearly $900 million in associated labor costs. The survey highlights that 74% of facilities reported exceeding their pharmacy budgets due to drug shortages, with pediatric facilities facing particularly significant financial and labor strain. Kyle Hoelting, director of pharmacy supply assurance and stewardship and Nikola Markoski, director of pharmacy sourcing strategic solutions and analytics join host Katie Korte, vice president Vizient Reserve to delve into the results of Vizient's 2024 drug shortage survey.

But is it always necessary—or even helpful—for everyone trying to conceive?

Have you been told your AMH is low, your eggs are too old, or you're “running out of time”? Egg quality is one of the most misunderstood pieces of the fertility puzzle.

If your cycles feel irregular, you're not seeing signs of ovulation, or you've had unexplained infertility or failed IVF cycles, this episode is essential listening. You'll learn what your cervical mucus, BBT, and hormone levels can tell you—and how to decode whether your eggs are getting the support they need to thrive.In this episode, you'll discover...-The 5 subtle but powerful signs that point to strong egg quality-What your follicular phase, luteal length, and lab values reveal about your ovarian health-Simple, natural strategies to improve egg quality in just 3–4 months (even with low AMH or “advanced maternal age”)
You shouldn't need a PhD in insurance billing to understand why your medication costs $600 this month and $60 the next. But for millions of Americans, that's the reality.In this episode of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, I talk to pharmacist and startup founder Vinay Patel, whose decade-long career spans high-volume pharmacy operations, clinical program design, and now, drug pricing reform.Vinay's origin story begins with a moral injury: watching patients forced to choose between rent and medications. Instead of accepting the system as-is, he built one that works better. From negotiating fair reimbursement rates to empowering local pharmacies and cutting out predatory Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), his work is restoring agency—one prescription at a time.You'll hear how he:Turned failure and scarcity into a superpower as a founderBuilt a mission-driven team by prioritizing soft skills over perfect résumésDesigned cost-plus drug programs that serve patients firstProtects independent pharmacies while keeping GLP-1s accessible About the Guest:"Failure means you're learning. And in healthcare innovation, learning fast is everything.” – Vinay PatelVinay Patel is a pharmacist, entrepreneur, and healthcare reformer. After years running a home delivery pharmacy for 15,000+ patients a month, he founded MakoRx, a company that bypasses traditional pharmacy benefit managers to lower costs for employers and improve access for patients.Vinay's mission is deeply personal—and systemic. His company's cost-plus model strengthens local pharmacies, bypasses industry bloat, and brings transparency to one of healthcare's most broken sectors.
