Journal Article
When I use a word . . . Drug stock-outs
2025
Overview
A deficiency in the availability of a pharmaceutical product is usually known as a shortage. However, the term “stock-out” has also been used to describe a deficiency that occurs locally. It is sometimes hard to determine when a stock-out becomes a shortage, and that may be why stock-outs have been less well studied than shortages. In addition, because they are local, stock-outs may be thought by some to be less important than shortages. However, the causes of stock-outs may be different from the causes of shortages and they are as important to those who are affected as shortages are, even though there are fewer of them.
