The adage, “You’re only as good as your weakest link” is manifested within the healthcare supply chain. GPOs, distributors, and manufacturers are key links in the healthcare supply chain, and your supply chain depends on their products and services to deliver value to your organization. Gather with your IDN supply chain peers as you examine issues impacting the healthcare supply chain during Sponsored Education Sessions at the Spring IDN Summit. These invitation-only sessions allow host companies the chance to highlight breakthroughs in the changing atmosphere of the healthcare supply chain.
Provider Focused by Invitation Only.
Breakfast will be served in each room at 7:30 AM with sessions beginning at 8:00 AM.
