Chesterfield, Mo.-based Medigroup outlined three supply chain tips for ASCs on their blog.
The key insights to know:
1. An ASC's facilities need to be maintained properly to ensure safe patient care. Establish a system to ensure correct item use and map out sterile item locations to help ASC staff deliver fast, safe care.
2. Understand the key issues and challenges for supply chain managers, like supply shortages, to help ASCs be more prepared when they hit roadblocks.
3. Standardize supplies and partnering with a GPO to potentially realize cost savings for ASCs.
