Facing sweeping changes in the wake of the Affordable Care Act, many hospitals and healthcare facilities had to adjust their approach to supply chain management to keep up with evolving services and reduced margins. A recent article from Forbes examines the approach taken by Saint Luke’s Health Systems in facilities across the nation, highlighting the involvement of key stakeholders – including clinicians and physicians – in driving agility, standardizing items, and leaning on cross-facility collaboration to seek the best outcomes for patients and facilities alike. The model adopted by Saint Luke’s serves as an example of doctor-led initiatives having a positive impact on supply chain systems, and shows how similar healthcare providers can look to the expertise of medical professionals in their decision making to generate results that make sense for patients and shareholders alike.
