Supply Chain Issues and Insights: Examining the 2008 National
C-Suite and Supply Chain Leadership Survey
Ballroom C 1 & 2
The 2008 National C-Suite and Supply Chain Leadership Survey,
sponsored by Owens & Minor, captures the awareness and
perspectives on the state of the healthcare supply chain and covers the
satisfaction and priorities of supply chain performance and
opportunities. With survey questions to CEOs, CFOs, and other supply
chain leaders on current issues – supply expense becoming the largest
provider expense category, technology investment ROI, impact of
supply chain performance on nurse satisfaction and retention, and
more – this session will compare and contrast key findings from the
2007 survey presented at the AHRMM’s 45th Annual Conference &
Exhibition in San Diego, CA with key findings from the 2008 survey.
The presentation will include an interpretation of the responses plus a
call-to-action for discussion. Upon review of the survey findings,
attendees will be able to recognize the top supply chain management
priorities for the C-Suite and any gaps between the C-Suite and supply
chain leaders’ thinking; develop a dialog for strategic planning;
interpret the C-Suite’s perceptions of supply chain performance and
produce an action plan for dealing with them; and create a
communications plan to educate the C-Suite about supply chain issues
and developments, so they can be better prepared to optimize
performance.
