ASCs can pressure vendors to be more price-transparent, according to Ann Castro, BroadJump's vice president of non-acute sales.
Ms. Castro shared the following supply chain tip with Becker's ASC Review:
"Utilizing a supply chain or inventory management system can really help [ASC staff] track expenditures so they can understand the reasons for the change. Tools have unbiased data to provide true transparency in the current market. This allows ASCs to better negotiate with suppliers and really maximize efficiencies."
