It’s time for hospitals to put more focus and attention on supply chains and materials management. It might seem like a mundane topic, but supply chain excellence can co-exist with (and support) the clinical excellence and patient experience goals that all hospitals strive for. In this talk, supply chain expert Mark Graban will share lessons and best practices from his experience with a world-class supply chain in the computer industry and also from leading health systems. He will explore proven ideas and methods that can help us all better prepare for the next pandemic (or the next unexpected or surprising event) that we’ll face.
Learning Objectives:
• Review the role of proper inventory planning to assure critical needed supplies such as PPE, Ventilators and medications are available to meet healthcare needs.
• Compare the impact of supply chain design decisions on daily operations — in normal times and during a pandemic with a focus on the critical need of the healthcare industry and its impact on patient care and safety.
• Examine effective methods for managing materials that reduce stockouts and reduce the required labor burden so patients and staff have mission critical supplies when needed.
• Employ strategies to better prepare, in times of need, patients and staff to have the proper supplies available or sound protocols in place for appropriate access to substitutes.
