This will be a group review of the most pressing topics that supply chain leaders submit in their pre-event survey questions.

Topics included for discussion are supply chain resiliency, labor shortages, contracting strategies, leadership development and retention, communicating with clinicians, the impact of onshoring versus global sourcing, improving logistics, inventory control, inflationary pressures causing price increases, and more.

This Group Learning Activity will afford the Facilitators an opportunity to segment IDNs into Learning Groups to foster more in-depth collaboration.

Learning Objectives

1. Examine strategies to mitigate challenges imposed by supply shortages.

2. Discover opportunities other supply chain leaders have found by innovative contracting strategies.

3. Review how other IDNs are coping with unexpected pricing inflation in their supply chain.

4. Identify best practices for organizational development.
