Driving Value

Disruptions are here to stay in the healthcare supply chain. Yet because of this, hospitals and health systems are better equipped to deal with critical product shortages and disruptions than they were a few years ago. “Over the last couple of years, we have upgraded and improved our processes, policies and employee training to confront and manage these disruptions,” said Lisa Lavalette, clinical value analysis program director, HonorHealth in Scottsdale, Arizona. “Our supply chain team uses these processes to apply mitigation strategies. In addition, we are still evolving using data analytics to drive value and partner with our service lines.”
