Effective OR strategy – driving out waste


Operating rooms (ORs) are concentrated centers of costs making them a natural focus of value-improvement efforts. Progressive healthcare organizations are realizing that supply chain processes can become a strategic cost savings tool instead of a daily operational process, with metrics tied to clinical and financial impact.These health systems are transforming their supply chains by reducing duplicative efforts, standardizing opportunities to reduce supply cost and increasing physical space. As a result, they realize how roles and responsibilities align between the supply chain and clinical team, which ultimately leads to better patient care.
