The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically altered the global supply chain. As we shift from the business-as-usual methods of the past, an all-hands-on-deck approach will be imperative in both recovery and future planning. As calls for greater transparency and increased communication remain, what role will the GPO play? How will GPOs scrutinize the resiliency of a suppliers' supply chain in making contracting decisions moving forward? How can GPOs leverage their line of sight with their members to forecast needs related to production? In this session, a panel of GPO executives will discuss post-pandemic changes and trends suppliers can expect to see and strategies to improve your position in 2021.

Learning Objectives:

1. Outline strategies to meet the needs of providers and suppliers going forward.
2. Discuss new opportunities in the healthcare supply chain post- pandemic.
3. Define ways to collaborate to build stronger partnerships.
