For supply chain leaders, clinical variation is one of the largest obstacles to quality outcomes.

Implementing these data practices across your IDN requires strong collaboration between internal stakeholders. In this session, we’ll provide you with strategies to work with clinicians to implement increased data standardization and overcome the barriers to successful implementation.

Learning Objectives:
