AHRMM Academy Inventory Distribution

AHRMM Academy: Inventory and Distribution Management

Monday, February 2 – Friday, February 27

Every patient deserves timely, safe and reliable care. When supplies are missing or delayed, clinicians lose valuable time and patient outcomes are at risk. 

Efficient logistics and inventory control ensure the right resources are available when they’re needed most. Implementing best practices means fewer disruptions, lower costs, improved workflows and more time for clinicians to focus on caring for patients.
