Transforming the Healthcare Supply Chain – Lessons from Two Big Brands 

Presenter:  Eric O'Daffer, Research Director, Gartner AMR Research

Moderator: Ed Hisscock, CEO, The Optime Group       

Healthcare can learn a lot from other industries. Our complexity is unique just as aerospace is unique or the chemical industry is unique -- just in different ways.  

In this session, Gartner AMR Research shares their research from Consumer and Technology businesses that directly relate to the supply chain transformation journey in healthcare. These examples illustrate wide scale change from large well known national brands that transformed their supply chain into a strategic advantage. These examples provide the background to explore how the healthcare can evolve into a more end to end value chain than the siloed one we live in today. 

Supply Chain transformation, of course, occurs in stages. We will discuss the stages and the collaboration needed between suppliers, provider supply chain and clinicians to make the next large scale improvements in the efficiency of the value chain. Supply chain sits at the intersection of patient outcomes, cost and reimbursement for most healthcare providers. This critical intersection and how it relates to supply chain transformation provides the background to set up the Chief Medical Officer panel discussion that follows.  

Learning Objectives:
1. Compare two well known brands and their supply chain transformation. Relate these transformations to healthcare providers.
2. Identify the stages of transformation in supply chain and the challenges inherent to healthcare providers in this evolution.
3. Outline the intersection of patient outcomes, cost and reimbursement and the challenges the healthcare value chain faces in incorporating these critical data points.

CMO Discussion on Achieving Supply Chain Success

Supplies have grown to become the second largest healthcare system cost after labor. Emphasis has evolved from transactions and order fulfillment to integration into the organization’s overall business strategy. But lack of leadership, inadequate understanding of the supply chain and worry about costs can all slow collaboration. Identifying shared goals between the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and the Chief Supply Chain Officer can forge a foundation of mutual trust and collaboration.

This panel discussion will bring you the unique opportunity to gain insight from CMOs of the nation’s leading healthcare systems as they discuss their roles within the organization and the day-to-day challenges they face. You’ll hear how the decisions they make can impact the supply chain department. Listen as they share their insight and applicatory data targeted toward establishing better relationships among supply chain, physicians and clinical staff, and then use what you’ve learned to take away new strategies for collaboration toward mutual end goals in your own organization.

Learning Objectives: 
1. Describe the transformation of supply chain management from one of operation to strategic, and the significant role that relationship building plays in the process.
2. Identify challenges faced by CMOs, understand the impact on supply and learn how to find common ground in solutions.
3. Evaluate how to strengthen and better manage the CMO/supply chain relationship for increased efficiency and effectiveness.
