Speaker: Christine Cameron, Director, Customer Success, GHX

Overview:  It’s generally accepted that supply chain automation is good for business, but is it good for the bottom line?  As hospitals are increasing the percentage of their purchasing handled electronically, they are documenting not only gains in productivity, but also hard dollars savings that can be measured across the enterprise.  But how does a materials manager demonstrate those savings in a manner that meets the needs of even the most demanding CFO?  Building upon proven statistics, learn how to put together a program for your hospital to track and trend your savings across your entire hospital or health system, including materials management, clinical departments, value analysis, and accounts payable, among others.
