IDN Summit & Expo Peer-to-Peer Exchange

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Exchange is designed to go in-depth on key challenges impacting supply chain management. Prior to the 2011 Fall IDN Summit, these Exchanges were held as P2P Exchange Luncheons at each IDN Summit to provide a forum to discuss key challenges impacting the healthcare supply chain. P2P Exchanges now utilize a webinar format to better accommodate participants and encourage greater interaction. 

Prior to each P2P Webinar, P2P research is made available both below and on the P2P webinar schedule page for review. The P2P research, along with moderator questions during the webinar, aim to stimulate active discussion among participants and provide attendees with peer guidance in each area.

The webinar discussions are archived after the conclusion of each Peer-to_Peer Exchange Webinar and made available on the P2P webinar schedule page.

For more information, contact Lisa Ponssa or call her at 859.309.6725. For more information on how to register for the next P2P Exchange Webinar, go to the P2P Exchange Webinar schedule page.

"In our industry, we tend to get stale. We tend to look at the same best practices over and over. We really need to look outside that box. IDN Summit goes out on a limb to challenge providers and suppliers to work to find a common interest and ways to reduce costs in the care chain. The reason I attend this meeting is that IDN Summit is a neutral party able to bring suppliers and providers together to try to reduce care chain costs."
