Many IDNs have invested significant effort in improving purchased services contracting, yet fragmented ownership and inconsistent decision-making continue to limit enterprise value. Moving beyond transactional sourcing requires governance structures that align finance, operations, supply chain, and business stakeholders around shared priorities, standardized data, and clearly defined accountability. Through an interactive discussion and collaborative exercise, examine the critical first steps in transforming purchased services from a decentralized expense category into a strategically managed enterprise capability.

Join experienced healthcare executives as they explore practical governance models, common implementation challenges, and the organizational changes required to create sustainable purchased services management.

Learning Objectives:
1. Identify the foundational governance elements required to effectively manage purchased services across an IDN.
2. Analyze the roles of executive leadership, supply chain, finance, and operational stakeholders in enterprise transformation.
3. Evaluate data requirements and governance structures that support visibility, accountability, and informed decision-making.
4. Develop strategies for transitioning from contract-focused management to an enterprise governance model.
