Three Advantus leaders will share expertise at supply chain conference.
Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jimmy Chung joined Becker’s Healthcare Podcast to discuss clinical quality and developing value-based patient experience. Dr. Chung focused on several dimensions in the fifteen-minute podcast.
As a supply chain solutions company, Advantus started by managing supply chain for Bon Secours Mercy Health, a 50-hospital health system. Early on, we discovered that involving clinicians in the supply chain process led to better outcomes for patients and helped reduce costs.
Supply chain departments play an important role in the acquisition of medical devices and supplies. Physicians have the power to take on a larger role in this decision-making process.
Creating more sustainability in your supply chain doesn’t have to be costly or difficult. There are things you can do that will mitigate negative impacts on the environment–and they don’t require you to spend millions of dollars or institute drastic measures that affect performance and productivity.
When Dan Hurry started Advantus Health Partners in 2021 to run the supply chain for Bon Secours Mercy Health, he positioned Advantus to share its services and expertise with others.
As a supply chain solutions company, Advantus started by managing supply chain for Bon Secours Mercy Health, a 50-hospital health system. Advantus optimized supply chain by leveraging the power of the entire system and transforming how supply chain is done. These lessons learned enable Advantus to offer custom consulting services to help other clients achieve similar results.
When Dan Hurry was diagnosed with cancer, he had an epiphany. At the time of his diagnosis, he had been working in supply chain management for over 30 years. He was an expert. However, his observations in the hospital where he was being treated – what he describes as a total disconnect between clinicians and the different parts of the diagnosis and treatment process – got him thinking.
National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. With more than 3 million licensed nurses in the US today, nurses make up the highest percentage of the US healthcare workforce. As we all know, Nurses are integral to hospitals and health systems, but they are also crucial to the work we do at Advantus too. We share the same goal of providing the best care to patients and we would not be able to achieve this without the hard work of our nurses!
Advantus Health Partner is proud to contribute to a healthier, green community through various sustainability efforts. These efforts have helped us improve wellness of mind, body and spirit while strengthening our relationship with the physical world, illustrating our belief that in the eyes of God, everything is connected. They underscored our understanding that the impact of our actions on God’s creation and right relationships with each other and the physical world is an important part of our Catholic identity. One of our Core Values is Justice, and we believe that true justice includes action to mitigate negative impacts on the environment which disproportionately affect people who are poor and under-served.
National Doctors Day honors the physicians who help save lives every day around the United States. The holiday first started in 1933 in Winder, Georgia, and since then has been celebrated every year on March 30, which was the first anniversary of a doctor using ether anesthesia. Today, we continue to celebrate medical advances like these and thank all of our Bon Secours Mercy Health doctors across our entire footprint who have spent so much time and energy mastering their fields of expertise.
In honor of National Doctors Day 2022, we had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Jimmy Chung, the Chief Medical Officer of Advantus Health Partners and a board-certified general surgeon for 22 years. Our discussion with Dr. Chung centered around the unprecedented challenges the healthcare industry is facing within the healthcare supply chain. Below are Dr. Chung’s insights on how supply chain has matured within health care and how the relationship between physicians and value analysis teams has changed over the years.
