In healthcare sourcing, providers and suppliers continue to face challenges driven by inconsistent RFP processes, fragmented supplier information, unclear product cross-references, and product conversion disruptions that delay implementation and increase administrative burden. This session explores findings from Cook Medical's Supply Chain Fellowship and the collaborative effort between Cook Medical and Northwestern Medicine to develop a more standardized and transparent provider-supplier sourcing model. Together, the organizations evaluated opportunities to improve supplier response consistency, strengthen product cross-reference validation, standardize key supplier information requirements, and create a more structured approach to product conversions. This discussion will highlight how greater standardization and collaboration can improve decision-making, reduce manual effort, and create a more seamless experience for both providers and suppliers. Join us for a practical discussion on lessons learned, proposed frameworks, and opportunities to create a more efficient and scalable sourcing and implementation process across the healthcare supply chain.
