Economic pressures continue to create challenges across American healthcare, requiring professionals throughout the industry to develop agile solutions in the face of rising costs, labor shortages, limited revenue, and beyond. From supply chain teams to care providers, each sector of the healthcare industry is addressing these ongoing challenges in novel ways. As reported in a recent article from McKinsey & Company, a survey of physicians across the country shows a unique perspective on medical supply management and a strong desire for greater participation in decision making processes. Nearly 70% of physicians surveyed said they want to be more involved in supply chain decisions around product selection and vendor negotiation, highlighting a gap in communication that could help healthcare facilities better manage costs while providing top-notch care.
