Amid declining reimbursement and a costly public health crisis, health systems are carefully scrutinizing expenses. As providers’ second-biggest cost after labor, supply chain expenditures are certainly not immune. Supply costs have been elevated to a C-suite priority under value-based care, as health systems are not only exercising more caution in purchasing, but also seeking to improve the efficiency of the delivery, storage and use of devices and supplies.
In a discussion with Modern Healthcare Custom Media, three industry leaders discussed how health systems can elevate their supply chain to achieve value-based care goals and prepare their organization for future crises.
