"Supply disruptions manifest in various forms today, ranging from recalls and shortages to backorders and market withdrawals," said Guillermo Ramas, Founder & CEO of NotiSphere. "With recalls at an all-time high in terms of both the number of events and units recalled, and disruptions such as backorders at levels ten times higher than they were a few years ago, the need for innovative approaches to collaboration is clear. Streamlining the communication process through these approaches will enable the industry to achieve greater efficiency, and partnering with HIRC is a fantastic way to get this done."

"Communication is key to resiliency," said Jesse Schafer, Executive Director, HIRC. "It was natural for us to partner with Notisphere as a pioneer in the healthcare supply disruption communications space.  We share a culture of innovation through collaboration. Our partnership will accelerate the development of communication standards as a healthcare industry. This foundation is integral to HIRC's mission in building a more transparent and resilient healthcare supply chain."
