Three years ago, if we asked the question, ‘Where will the healthcare supply chain be in three years?’ would we have predicted the challenges we are confronting today? Or are we still facing the same challenges? Three years ago the Supplier Track topics at the 2015 Spring IDN Summit included: Vendor Management, Future of the GPOs, Healthcare Reform, Consolidation of IDNs and the Impact on Suppliers, among other topics. How much has really changed in three years?

 

This panel of leading healthcare supply chain executives will share their insights on how the healthcare supply chain is either evolving or being disrupted; how the US based IDN landscape will unfold over the next three years; the impact of technology on their businesses; how you should position your organization to better impact their supply chains and more.

 

1. Compare and contrast the challenges facing hospitals and health systems.

2. Demonstrate knowledge of the key disruptors and drivers influencing decision makers.

3. Analyze opportunities for navigating the changing healthcare landscape.
