Moderator: Anna Rouwhorst, Director, Network Supply Chain Management, Methodist Willowbrook Hospital

Overview: Healthcare supply chain professionals are faced with many challenges as they strive to improve operations and find innovative ways to lower expenses within their facilities. A primary area of unfilled potential continues to be addressing the rising cost of physician preference items. How to engage and gain the co-operation and support of the physicians and other key stakeholders within your facility continues to be a challenge for supply chain managers. This webinar will focus on teaching you how to effectively utilize the informational data that you have gathered to link quality and cost in a manner that physicians will quickly understand and thus be your supporter and advocate for change.
