Speaker:
Mark Fogel, C.P.M.,
Contract Analyst-Category Manager
Scripps Health Supply Chain Management
In
every industry, cost reductions are always a huge
challenge in any economy, let alone in healthcare.
Changes like Healthcare Reform make it even more acutely
problematic for companies directly or indirectly involved
in the Healthcare industry.
If
cost reductions in the healthcare industry are possible,
how are they identified, realized and sustained?
Great
challenges always create great opportunities with
exponential risk/reward outcomes. Professionals committed
to selfless attitudes of continual operational improvement
within their companies will eagerly embrace these
challenges and utilize the tools to address them.
This
presentation will illustrate how we are addressing
these challenges at Scripps Health and how they apply
to your industry.
