I want to thank all those healthcare executives who took the time to read through and vote on the dozen submissions we received for this year’s Search for Supply Chain Excellence in Healthcare Awards. Like you, we were quite impressed by the variety and quality of the nominated projects. There may be a long way to go to achieve the kind of cost savings and quality improvement that is possible in the supply chain arena, but these nominations show that some organizations have a strong head start on that journey. read more
"We always recommend the IDN Summit meetings as a 'top show' for networking opportunities. The chance to work with such a large audience of high level decision-makers in one setting allows for a quick assimilation into the corporate account arena and provides strategic opportunities for any supplier. It is also a great occasion to stay close to the issues affecting healthcare delivery and a venue to be involved in improving them."

"There hasn’t been a more important time for CEOs to be engaged in the healthcare supply chain than now. Balancing the need to be technologically advanced with the need to maintain solid financial footing means that leaders have to examine their supply chain as an integral part of system strategy. What I want to accomplish at the IDN Summit, and beyond, is to get the right kind of dialogue going with the right people."
