Total Value Management: How Health Systems Can Integrate Clinical and Purchasing to Enable a Value-focused Culture of Collaboration

Traditionally, value has been defined and determined within disparate silos, whether supply chain, pharmacy, therapeutics, or clinical consensus groups. But in order for health systems to address total cost and outcome of care, these efforts must converge. Pivoting from value analysis to the more relevant framework of Total Value Management, this session will help attendees understand how to improve operational processes, reaping rewards for every stakeholder involved in the strategic sourcing lifecycle.

During this session we will focus on the critical questions that every supply chain leader must ask and answer to drive meaningful operational improvement.
