As IDNs continue to navigate rising costs and shrinking margins, supply chain leaders are under growing pressure to deliver meaningful savings without compromising clinical outcomes. While some categories have long been recognized as cost-saving opportunities, others remain underleveraged or newly emergent. Knowing where to look, how to engage stakeholders, and what strategies yield the highest return is essential to maintaining financial stability in today’s healthcare supply chain environment.

Join supply chain leaders as they detail exciting projects over the past year, highlighting savings opportunities and discussing categories that drive the greatest savings.

Learning Objectives:
1. Identify high-spend categories that consistently yield the greatest savings opportunities across IDNs.
2. Differentiate between traditional and emerging areas of cost containment in healthcare supply chain.
3. Evaluate thought leaders’ savings projects to determine which strategies could be implemented in your own organization.
4. Outline next steps for launching or expanding savings initiatives in collaboration with clinical and financial stakeholders.
