Leader Exchange: A Shift in Supply Chain Decision Making
Rolling with the Evolution of Supply Chain Changes
It’s unanimous - the healthcare industry has endured a great amount of change in a condensed amount of time. The pandemic led to many medical supply chain shortages and a financial outlook that starkly contrasts trends of the late 2010s. Hospitals, and especially surgical departments, have begun looking at supply chain decisions through a new lens to keep cost low and quality high. As a result, many of the decisions to purchase disposable goods and expensive equipment have risen above surgery administration and to the C-suite.
Join a diverse panel of high-level decision makers as they discuss this evolution through their experiences, while outlining how perioperative leaders can continue to be a large part of purchasing decisions. Has the local decision-making threshold changed? What sub-processes have been created to ensure cost and quality are equally important? Gain insight into how supply chains have evolved and what that means for periop leaders today and into the future.
Key Takeaways
- Outline the latest developments in surgical supply chain processes affecting decisions.
- Understand how the current financial state of ASCs and hospitals influences product choice.
- Describe the role of the perioperative leader in the decision-making process of an effective supply chain.
