The Anatomy of Materials Management $
1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

This pre-conference session is designed to take the mystery out of physician preference items: those areas of high-end clinical preference that are also the most costly and most often the products that Materials has little if any involvement. Taking the mystery out of how products are utilized is the first step for supply chain professionals to become better informed to assist in financial management and standardization of these high-end procedures. The session will focus on cardiac atheterization, cardiac stents, and cardiovascular surgery products (i.e. pacers, AICDs, valves, graphs, and rings), as well as discuss those involved in hip and knee replacement and spine procedures. The session will also review the anatomy of the human body and how and where the products purchased are utilized. Featuring hands-on demonstrations of products, the session will be led by nurses who are subject matter experts in supply cost reduction.

Opening General Session & Keynote Address

Nobody Moved Your Cheese
8:30 am -10:00 am
Sponsor: Kimberly-Clark
In this hilarious and motivational program, Ross Shafer demonstrates why he doesn't think your cheese can be moved. Your "cheese" is the fuel that nourishes your passion and cannot be moved. He is a fierce proponent of taking responsibility for what happens in your life - and being accountable for the outcome. By using examples from his careers in show business, as an HR training film producer, and as a corporate speaker, Ross Shafer can prove how believing in (and using) your unique talents will encourage people to stop making excuses for their failures and start celebrating their successes.

Ross Shafer: Best Selling Author
