Beyond surgical suites and patient rooms, powerful economic forces are reshaping the way modern healthcare is delivered. To gain a comprehensive understanding of healthcare supply chain, it is vital to look at the industry from a macroeconomic perspective. From technological innovation to policy shifts, macroeconomic factors can determine the fate of many IDNs. 

Join Dr. Randy Bradley as he shares a macroeconomic look at trends in healthcare supply chain, and how these trends could directly and practically impact your organization.

Learning Objectives:
1. Identify strategic approaches for leveraging macroeconomic insights to enhance supply chain operations.
2. Analyze the relationship between economic shifts and healthcare supply chain initiatives.
3. Outline macroeconomic indicators serving as early warnings for supply chain vulnerabilities.
4. Compare current supply chain realities against the experiences of your peers.

In an era of innovation, looking outside the borders of healthcare and into other industries offers opportunities for unparalleled learning. Not only does this outward-looking approach garner insight into the struggles of other supply chain leaders, but also provides a strategic outside perspective. By hearing from seasoned senior leaders in supply chain roles, you can gain a new outlook into persistent challenges in healthcare supply chain. 

Join supply chain executives from outside industries as they pull back the curtain on their most successful strategies, processes, and transformative approaches.

Learning Objectives:
1. Evaluate performance indicators used outside of healthcare that could provide new metrics to gauge impact.
2. Identify transferable supply chain technologies and methodologies from non-healthcare supply chain leaders that address relevant supply chain challenges.
3. Outline discrepancies between non-healthcare strategies in order to better understand effective implementation within healthcare. 
4. Analyze similarities and differences in supplier relationships across industries.

In order to effectively grasp and take action on outside industry supply chain data, it is critical to develop implementation strategies for putting these insights into practice in your organization. Through peer examples and guided frameworks, lessons learned from outside industries can be translated into practical applications that overcome the unique challenges of healthcare while maintaining regulatory compliance and patient care standards. 

Join LeAnn Born and Brent Johnson as they walk through insights gained from outside industry supply chain leaders and determine methods for putting these insights into practice.

Learning Objectives:
1. Outline a systematic approach for evaluating cross-industry supply chain practices and their applicability to healthcare.
2. Evaluate methods for overcoming barriers to implementation that could arise due to non-traditional healthcare supply chain strategies.
3. Analyze metrics to accurately measure the impact of other industries’ strategies on healthcare supply chain operations.
4. Identify a framework for communicating the value proposition of cross-industry strategies to the c-suite.
