Securing Your Supply Chain
Host: Brent Petty, Chief Relationships Officer, Bluegrass Business Media

As we surpass the two-year mark of the pandemic, IDNs are still left wondering when supply chains will get back to “normal”. Shortages, labor constraints, storage limitations, and increasing delivery rates are all expected to continue through the high demands of 2022. That being said, this year could mark a turning point. IDNs and suppliers are making big investments to add capacity and are increasingly adopting new technology that will drive efficiencies and lower costs. Join Brent Petty, as he leads this discussion on how the supply chain industry is changing, and what you need to do to optimize your system.

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss primary challenges your organization is facing as it pertains to supply chain demands.
2. Outline strategies to enhance supply chain efficiencies and lower costs.
3. Analyze the key changes to supply chain management that will remain in the post-pandemic healthcare industry.
