Operate in Harmony – Uncovering Hidden Costs in the OR
An off-contract item slips into the OR. A bill-only error goes unnoticed. A utilization mistake isn’t caught until months later. In Episode 3 of “Operate in Harmony,” Brendan Shaw and Matt Rechin from ReadySet reveal how seemingly small gaps can add up to significant financial losses across the surgical supply chain. From gaining visibility before products reach the OR to analyzing cost per case and catching discrepancies before they become costly mistakes, this conversation explores how stronger alignment between supply chain and finance can help reduce unnecessary spend. Join the conversation today to discover where hidden costs may be lurking in your OR and what your team can do to prevent them.
Over the next four weeks, this series explores what it takes to align people, process, and technology across the surgical supply chain. From strengthening clinical partnerships and vendor collaboration to optimizing workflows and embracing innovation, we’ll explore the ideas and insights that help healthcare teams build best practices that last.
