Brittany Hodak

Author and SuperFan Expert

Are you a supplier building a relationship with an integrated delivery network?  Or are you a supply chain leader collaborating with your organization’s internal stakeholders - from the clinicians to the C-Suite execs - to continue improving patient care and outcomes?  Join Brittany Hodak, author, and keynote speaker, as she offers fresh ideas on how to approach supply chain partners in a new way – one that takes them from sellers & buyers, IDN supply chain leaders and stakeholders to customer and enthusiastic advocates for your healthcare organization.

We're living in an Experience Economy – which is just as true for the healthcare industry as any other in the current climate. Customer experience, or CX, is the new battlefield for winning — and keeping — customers. According to a recent study by Gartner, CX drives over two-thirds of customer loyalty. That’s more than brand and price combined.

Customer apathy is one of the biggest threats to business today. Whether they realize it or not, every member of your healthcare organization is a vital member of the Experience Department. Each one has the power to create loyal, enthusiastic customer advocates based on external or internal interactions.

During this session, Hodak will discuss how CX applies to and benefits the myriad of relationships within a healthcare organization. Her five-part framework will help attendees create actionable steps for each tier of the supply chain within their healthcare organization.

Learning Objectives:

1. Internalize the importance of the Experience Economy and what it means for the future of your healthcare organization.

2. Adopt a results-oriented attitude to exceeding expectations within each part of the supply chain partnership.

3. Explain why the best marketing doesn’t cost anything.

4. Prioritize long term supply chain relationships over short-term metrics and goals.
