Description

As health care supply chains transition from manual oversight to autonomous ecosystems, the Chief Supply Chain Officer (CSCO) must balance aggressive innovation with rigid data governance. This session dives into the practical "playbook" for leading a digital transformation that survives the complexities of data security and privacy, "dirty data," and the relationship between Supply Chain and IT.

Through a series of targeted segments, industry leaders will discuss the "Privacy Paradox" of sharing data with vendors, the structural requirements for building an actionable Supply Chain Control Tower, and the realities of autonomous Procure-to-Pay (P2P) systems. The panel concludes with a "Lightning Round" on the non-negotiable boundaries of data sharing and the essential skill sets required for the workforce of the future.

Learning Objectives 

  • Architect Governance Frameworks for AI & Privacy: Define the "grey zone" between supply chain data and Protected Health Information (PHI) to establish clear protocols for real-time data sharing with external suppliers.
  • Evaluate Resource Models for Digital Integration: Contrast the "Supply Chain IT" model against traditional Corporate IT to determine the optimal technical staffing and budget allocation, specifically balancing data cleansing with AI tool deployment.
  • Implement Autonomous Procurement Strategies: Analyze the "human-in-the-loop" requirements for AI-driven contracting and automation to ensure clinical outcomes and supply chain costs are integrated without compromising data ethics.
