Location Name

Description
It’s great to think strategically and look to the future but what really matters is hitting next quarters quotas. Most of the time we just want the facts and nothing but the facts to get the job done. Hearing from your customer concerning their expectations can be tough at times but it does illuminate what you need to be doing now to make an impact TODAY. 
 
Join this free-wheeling exchange of ideas featuring two supply chain leaders and Brent Petty who has been on ‘both-sides-of-the-table.’ As we know, IDNs face increasing challenges to reduce operational costs while improving the quality of patient care and services provided.  These three leaders will outline expectations, relationship building techniques, share best practices and even discuss how to effectively use your time at the Spring IDN Summit. 
 
Learning Objectives: 
1. Define the supply chain challenges hospitals and health systems are experiencing today.
2. Describe the key drivers influencing healthcare decision makers.
3. Identify ways that suppliers and providers can forge stronger partnerships.
