Harnessing Data Normalization to Drive Product Savings 

Sponsored by 
In Conjunction with: Healthcare Financial Management Association

Overview: It is difficult to accurately compare products, contracts, and vendors due to part number misalignment, descriptive misalignment, and incorrect vendor identification. Organizations need to normalize their data to resolve the ambiguities present in the data. Data normalization unites and standardizes both internal/external data so it can be used to drive volume, direct product sourcing to prime vendors, and negotiate better contracts. Attendees will have access to a white paper following the presentation: Harnessing Data Normalization to Drive Product Savings.
