As health systems face continued financial challenges, 47% of health care leaders say supply cost reductions will be among their top cost-saving initiatives this year. These reductions will demand difficult choices around what to cut and necessitate an agile response in an inflationary environment.
The old ways of doing things in health care supply chain won’t be enough to provide the value health systems need. To find supply chain savings, health care leaders must be open to new approaches that leverage talent, knowledge, systems, and data for transformational change. Fortunately, Advantus Health Partners can provide expertise on how to be set up for success.
