For the survey, GHX asked executives among its Best 50 provider organizations about their supply chain plans that will support their organization’s care affordability and quality initiatives.
The two priorities:
- The first priority is improving the collection and standardization of supply chain data. This will allow organizations to cut costs and improve outcomes.
- The second priority is integrating supply chain and clinical systems to reduce variation in costs and quality. Improving the connectivity between systems will help improve the shift to value-based care, according to the survey.
Overall the survey highlighted the role supply chain data and integrated systems will play to solve the cost-quality-outcome equation.
