Matrix GPO contacted United Rheumatology this week to update us on the supply of saline — first Hurricane Maria impacted production and now widespread flu is impacting supply. Matrix indicated they are continuing to do everything they can to obtain product as quickly as possible, and “we are making this a top priority for us.” Matrix will continue to supply UR members as quickly as possible and they are looking into other options to obtain supply in the coming week. See article for additional information on the shortage.
