A Harm-Free 21st Century – Medical Device Recalls Built for Today’s Providers

Is it time to recall your medical device recall process? Medical device recall alerts have been managed the same way since the very beginning of their use — but what is changing is the substantial increase in the volume of alerts over the past 10 years. Guillermo Ramas, Founder of NotiSphere joins us for this Power Supply Vendor Spotlight™ to talk about how he has created a win-win solution for suppliers and providers to move recall alerts and acknowledgements to an electronic platform that costs the providers nothing and delivers significant savings for suppliers. The biggest win is for the patient, by removing alert fatigue for recall coordinators and delivering only the relevant alerts much faster! The current recall process is not only inefficient and slow, it’s incredible costly and bad for the environment. But, where there is waste, there is opportunity. Tune in to hear how NotiSphere is taking this opportunity to the next level in hospitals across the country.

Near When You Need Them: Hacking the Disposable Tourniquets Supply Chain

What is “nearshoring” and how can it solve many of your most pressing healthcare supply chain issues?

Cost Savings for Your Hospital in Challenging Times

On this week’s episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl highlights some important tips for navigating current (and future) supply chain challenges: “There is a tendency to beat up on your suppliers in challenging times, but your suppliers are having the same challenges you are in the new healthcare economy, such as lower profits, higher costs, and a disruptive marketplace. This is a short-term strategy which can hurt you over the long term when you will need your suppliers most to assist you with managing your patient population. Much better short-term strategies are to join a regional group purchasing organization, standardize on PPI items, increase your GPO compliance organization-wide, and of course knock down the major utilization areas if you can uncover them. …..” Tune in for the full article!
