6 Unwanted Things that Happen When the Products, Services, and Technologies You Buy Are Put into the Hands of Your Customers

On this week’s episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl talks about why price is the smallest element of your lifecycle cost equation: “Too often when a product, service, or technology is purchased, it is considered a completed transaction by your contract managers once they have obtained the best price, and then it is quickly forgotten. You might not realize it, but this is the #1 reason why you would have higher per patient day supply costs than your competition. Remember, price is the smallest element of your lifecycle cost equation. To this end, your optimal lifecycle cost drivers reside in the following six things that happen when the products, services, and technologies you are buying are put into the hands of your customers:…” Tune in for the full article!

Adjusting Time: A Positive Outlook on the Future of JIT

Many of us have felt that Just-In-Time is dead thanks to the pandemic and the increasing number of shortages we have experienced, but maybe not!  Wade Blom joins Hays Waldrop, Garry Skinner and Justin Poulin to offer up a brighter future for the inventory management strategy that was used extensively leading up to the pandemic.  We also learn how we set ourselves up for failure and what can be done to get things back on line and operational.  Don’t sleep on this episode as we not only discuss the healthcare side of the table, but also implications for manufacturers and what suppliers need to be doing to be good partners!

Dripping with Positivity: Keeping Patients Informed and Aware

“Healthcare is focused on patient experience and outcomes. We have HCAHPS scores and quality metrics, but these are all at the end of the service line. However, farther upstream, even before a device is delivered to the hospital, there are decisions that are being made that impact those patient experiences and outcomes. How do we take into account all the variables from a higher level and integrated view? Ryan Bass joins Hays Waldrop, Garry Skinner and Justin Poulin to tell us exactly how and offers his insight on keeping patients informed with positive and negative messaging drip campaigns. That can mean letting them know when they have been impacted by a recall and need to take action, but it can also mean letting them know that they were not impacted and rest easy at night. Be sure to tune in this week for an interesting and engaging discussion!”
