Supply Chain Risks: How Can Suppliers Support You?
For the last few years, supply chain transparency has been a trending topic. We all need information to better forecast our areas of business. Our organization has received many questions about our ability to supply and what impacts our manufacturing lines. So we designed a tool that we call the ‘Supplier Risk Dashboard’. The goal is for it to help answer your questions about what impacts our resiliency to a part number or it’s family. But we want to exclusively share it here first with our attendees to know what other information you need and what would make your job easier. Perhaps you are just determining how to make use of your suppliers’ risk impact. We will also share the stage with Vizient to make use of our new tool so that you may get ideas of how to use it in your role or organization.
No matter what stage of the journey you are in, come share your thoughts and needs with us in this open conversation.

Enter a New World of Postoperative Pain Management
Pain management in the first 72 hours after surgery is critical. As the body’s inflammatory process unfolds, the surgical site becomes increasingly acidic and limits the efficacy of local anesthetics, regardless of administration technique. But what if local anesthetics were capable of more? By attending this symposium, you will learn how a local anesthetic designed to consistently deliver pain relief for up to 72 hours after surgery could impact the way we treat pain.
