Abstract
About 50 million people in the United States report skipping prescription drugs due to costs, which is detrimental to individual health outcomes and also increases costs for the entire healthcare system. Yet at the same time, over $5 billion of unexpired, unopened medicine from healthcare institutions goes to landfills, waterways and incinerators each year. Recognizing donation as a preferable alternative to destruction, states have passed Good Samaritan laws allowing and protecting the donation of still usable, safe medicine. The nonprofit SIRUM has leveraged these policy changes and built technology to convert the standard medicine destruction process into a donation process, seamlessly delivering medicine to charitable pharmacies serving patients in need.
