The current health care environment is fraught with uncertainty and pressure for cost reduction. Rising operating costs, lower government / insurance reimbursement rates, uncertainty around health care reform, increased demands for quality of care, maturing delivery systems, long-term care management issues and customer satisfaction initiatives are all putting more pressure on health care executives to drive cost savings and contribute to improved and more effective patient care.
Many of the problems facing health care sourcing executives are related to supply management.
These are not new problems, but in many cases have been addressed in other industries for years.
What strategic sourcing initiatives are the foundation for a well-managed health care sourcing organization?
Sourcing Governance and Practices • Supply Chain / Supply Risk • Sourcing Metrics
Spend Analytics • P2P (Procure to Pay) Efficiency • Contract Management • And more!
These initiatives along with six others are discussed in depth through a timely presentation on: Assessing Health Care Supply Chain Maturity: Creating a Baseline for Cost Savings, Value Creation and a Defined Structure for Growth.
