Joe Walsh launches Supply Chain Sherpas!
|
Industry stalwart and former executive at Intermountain Healthcare and Pensiamo has hung a shingle.
His new organization is called Supply Chain Sherpas.
Walsh says "
I am intentionally choosing courage over comfort as I leave the safety net of corporate leadership roles, where I have invested over 20 years of my professional life. I joined the healthcare industry a decade ago after losing both of my parents, four months apart from each other, in two different healthcare systems. Since that time, I've been inspired to elevate the collective capabilities of the supply chain so we can directly improve affordability, quality, compassion, and service levels throughout the entire healthcare industry."

Comprehensive report on Cyber-Security and the Supply Chain released!
|
Suppliers big and small do not have the luxury of not understanding cyber security and vulnerability at the intersection between hospitals and suppliers. This absolutely one thing keeps me up at night!
I came across the most comprehensive report on the cyber security and the healthcare supply chain.
It truly answers the who, why and how of cyber attacks in healthcare.
“As hospitals and other healthcare facilities adopt new technology, add new devices, and embrace new partnerships, patients get better and more efficient services — but the digital attack surface expands as well. The more connected they get, the more attractive they become as lucrative targets to threat actors"
the report reads.
Below is a link to the lengthy and informative report.

7 things to know about the leader of the Amazon, Berkshire, JP Morgan organization
|
So much is still unknown about the consortium of progressive companies trying to bend the cost curve. Thanks to Becker's we now know about its leader, Todd Combs.
Interestingly he has an insurance background that would make one surmise that he may very well start by aggregating employee pools to reduce costs.
Are supplies on his radar?
