In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare supply chain, transparency and real-time data sharing are no longer optional, they’re essential for stability, resilience, and optimized performance. This fireside chat brings together leaders from Cook Medical, Surgence, and Mayo Clinic to explore the findings of Cook Medical’s 2025 Supply Chain Fellowship and their collaborative effort to improve visibility across the ecosystem. Together, the organizations piloted the Surgence platform to address key challenges such as fragmented data, inconsistent ordering patterns, and lack of shared visibility across partners. This discussion will highlight how the use of a shared digital platform can unlock improved ordering behavior, inventory rationalization, clearer signal management, and stronger alignment between manufacturers, distributors, and providers. Join us for a deep dive into the lessons learned, measurable outcomes, and the practical realities of building a more transparent and connected supply chain.
