ASCs should have a plan in place for continuing operations when a supply chain shortage occurs, according to Cheryl Poplaski, Vizient's senior director of supply chain operations.
Ms. Poplaski shared the following tip with Becker's ASC Review:
"Taking the time and effort in advance to plan for shortages and stock-out situations will prepare your team quickly and efficiently when a disruption occurs. It will give you the ability to provide your organization with information, alternatives and product updates on a timely basis."
