Preparing for supply chain shortages will give ASCs the ability to provide their organizations 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 manage product inventory closely during times when back orders, allocations and extended supply disruptions occur."
