Turning to non-traditional suppliers of PPE during COVID-19

Two national organizations are working together to connect health care providers with new sources for the personal protective equipment they need. Lists of non-traditional U.S.-based and overseas suppliers of PPE, vetted by the Association for Health Care Resource & Materials Management (AHRMM) and ECRI, are updated daily and freely available for use by all health care facilities and organizations. There are also lists of companies that offer test kits, disinfectants, swabs, and related services. AHRMM of the American Hospital Association is a membership group for health care supply chain professionals and ECRI is a nonprofit organization working to improve the safety, quality, and cost-effectiveness of health care.

Visit the AHRMM’s website to access the suppliers’ lists and ECRI’s website for additional helpful spreadsheets on product and supply equivalents and other COVID-19 resources.
