A Strategic Sourcing Model

Overview: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has become a leader in developing a strategic sourcing model at a research-intensive provider by adopting non-healthcare industry best practices and explicitly enfranchising the purchasing community at its facilities in these initiatives. The session will cover three phases, including development of four key near-term objectives for strategic sourcing, creation of a research workgroup consisting of cost center managers to communicate and monitor these objectives, and implementation of the out-of-hospital industry best practices to execute against key objectives. Participant will receive detailed description of the key steps implemented during each phase.
