Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the traditional healthcare supply chain. Notably, the CEO of Mayo Clinic stated hospitals must rethink the “just-in-time” inventory strategy that led to shortages of needed supplies. With proposed solutions ranging from nationalizing the healthcare supply chain, to implementing onshore production initiatives, change is imminent. In this session, a panel of GPO executives will share several changes and trends suppliers can expect to see in 2021 and beyond.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss new opportunities in the healthcare supply chain post-COVID.
- Outline new GPO new initiatives that will impact suppliers.
- Explain how suppliers can enhanced their positioning in an evolving healthcare market.
