Illuminated Path: Episode 13: Creating a Clinically-Driven Supply Chain

In this episode of Illuminated Path, host Evan Danis welcomes guest Kenneth Cyr, Director of Supply Chain Consulting at Intalere. As healthcare reimbursement drives the development of a more patient-centric continuum of care, it demands the healthcare supply chain evolve from transaction-based processes, to a greater operational alignment with the organization’s strategic goals and objectives. Cyr discusses how value analysis and product standardization require a new level of communication. He talks about the most common improvement areas he typically recommends to an organization that wants to enhance its supply chain and interconnect clinical processes, as well as tips for how a supply chain department can get started on the path to multidisciplinary collaboration.
