The sweeping changes in healthcare have changed the way providers do business in almost every area, including how they source and purchase supplies in this new landscape.  The demand for quality-driven healthcare outcomes requires providers to more effectively demonstrate value in every clinical decision.   As a result, suppliers must demonstrate their willingness to be partners in this effort.  Sessions will help you gain a better understanding of what today’s providers are looking for in their suppliers.  Other issues addressed will include the importance of collaborative partnerships, surviving amid disruption, and insights on improving efficiencies and product utilization.
