Physician preference or procedure cards, while extremely beneficial when utilized efficiently and in an organized manner, can quickly become overcrowded, outdated, and simply inaccurate, leading to the potential for operational inefficiency and waste. To fully understand the utilization of products and ultimately shift the focus from preferences to system-wide standards, it is crucial to communicate regularly and strategically with physicians. This enhanced communication between supply chain and physicians not only impacts procedure cards, but the organization as a whole. 

Join industry leaders with hands-on experience in optimizing procedure card processes as they share immediately applicable strategies for moving away from preference and reassessing the way you view physician utilization. 

Learning Objectives:
1. Analyze the impact of procedure card obsolescence on operational efficiency.
2. Define the strategic role of physician communication in identifying inefficiencies and shifting to system-wide standards. 
3. Outline a framework for optimizing cards that incorporates clinical and supply chain input. 
4. Differentiate between physician preference and clinically appropriate standardization to understand their impact on outcomes and overall cost.
