Empowering Supply Chain Through Streamlined Technology

Leaders in health care organizations throughout the United States and beyond are looking to the supply chain for big data to determine actionable business insights of products used during patient care. The insights gathered can support the purchasing decisions of contracting and value analysis teams.

Big data identifies product fluctuations, uncovers quality issues, and procedural standardization variances, among other benefits. However, the data collected from various stakeholder groups, in a health care organization, can be disparate if the data process is not streamlined.

During this AHRMM webinar, experts will discuss the challenges of disparate technology systems in a health care organization and how big data can be synchronized to identify actionable business insights. After this webinar, attendees will have a better understanding of big data and how it can improve outcomes in their health care organization.
