3:50 PM PANEL: Creating Value Together: Smarter Contracting & Value Analysis for Stronger Provider–Supplier Partnerships

As healthcare organizations face mounting financial pressure, contracting and value analysis have become strategic levers for improving outcomes, not just reducing costs. Leading organizations are moving beyond transactional negotiations to build collaborative supplier relationships that balance clinical needs, operational efficiency, innovation, and long-term value. Join providers and manufacturers as they discuss how they're evolving value analysis and contracting processes to create stronger partnerships across the healthcare supply chain. 

  • Move beyond price-focused negotiations to evaluate total value, clinical outcomes, and long-term partnership opportunities
  • Explore how providers and suppliers can collaborate earlier to accelerate innovation, standardization, and supply chain performance
  • Learn strategies for balancing cost containment with clinician engagement, product choice, and patient care
