Preparing ahead of time for supply chain disruptions will give ASCs the ability to provide the center with information, alternatives and product updates on a timely basis, according to Cheryl Poplaski, Vizient's senior director of supply chain operations.
She shared the following supply chain tip with Becker's ASC Review:
"Prepare an approved substitution list for those supplies required for continued patient care operations, and limit the amount of product delivered to stocking areas to match use."
