PURCHASED SERVICES TRACK

Increasingly, healthcare systems are looking for margin improvement in areas of “non-supply” spend, or purchased services. Healthcare Reform brings added pressure to become more efficient and in many systems, purchased services can account for more than 16 percent of operating expenses. Purchased Services encompass such vast areas as clinical services, ancillary services, support services, professional services and food services. Because they usually cross over a number of departments, they can be easily overlooked as an area of potential savings. In these sessions, you’ll hear how other health systems have identified key areas for cost improvement, learn how to effectively negotiate for these purchased services, and explore proven models for margin enhancement impacting both revenues and expenses by streamlining your Purchased Services initiatives. This track is designed for executives with responsibility in clinical services, ancillary services, support services, professional services and food services.
