  • OR Supply Chain Management   ( 4 Articles )

    In most hospitals the operating room accounts for 1/3 or more of total supply expense, more than 1/2 of total inventory value, and likely fully 1/2 of gross revenue.  If the supply chain within the OR is not effectively managed, millions of dollars may be at stake.

    Unless there is dedicated supply chain expertise in the OR, it is likely that the staff responsible for purchasing, inventory management, consignment, contract conversions, etc. were never formally trained to do these tasks.  While much of supply chain management is "common sense," this often not apparent until you know understand the hows and whys.  Without training and depth of experience in supply chain management within the OR, we frequently accept accept supplier and OR staff behaviors that unnecessariliy increase operating expense.
