Key takeaways:
• Confronted by escalating financial pressures, healthcare organizations are looking for new ways to lower costs without compromising patients’ health and safety.
• Supply chain technologies can help providers across the continuum of care (CoC) achieve greater efficiencies, cost savings and the best possible outcomes, yet the tech is out of reach for many organizations.
• Premier SmartPO™, a digital purchasing and inventory management platform scaled for CoC providers, provides complete visibility into procurement to help drive healthcare supply chain resiliency, savings opportunities and quality patient care across the care continuum.
As economic concerns associated with inflation, supply chain issues and labor shortages in healthcare persist, providers across the continuum of care (CoC) need strategies for reducing costs without compromising care quality. One strategy CoC providers should consider is technology-enabling critical supply chain purchasing and inventory management processes to achieve greater efficiencies and savings.
While leaders at many healthcare organizations within the CoC (e.g., physician practices, surgery centers and long-term care facilities) may think they don’t have the resources needed to deploy supply chain technologies typically used by hospitals and health systems (e.g., enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and procurement platforms), there’s a cost-effective solution scaled just for smaller providers designed to deliver benefits straight to the bottom line.
