LogicSource’s General Manager of Healthcare, Mark Van Sumeren, was recently on the Power Supply Chain podcast to discuss reducing supply chain costs through non-clinical spend management.
Speaking about non-clinical expenditures, Mark explained, “Imagine that 20% of our expense base is being deployed to things that are not top-of-mind awareness, not managed as part of our typical GPO or internal contracts, largely diffused throughout the organization, and therefore, somewhat out of control. This creates a great opportunity as we face ongoing challenges to manage operating margins.”
Catch this episode with hosts Hays Waldrop (Founder and President of The Institute of Healthcare Executives and Suppliers [IHES]), Garry Skinner (Founder of Discover S3) and Justin Poulin (Founder and CEO of Beyond Clean), where Mark shares insights into:
- Reasons behind poor visibility and control over non-clinical spend
- Dealing with rampant inflation and rising labor and supply costs
- The limitations of GPOs and consultants in satisfying the need for specialized non-clinical contract negotiation in healthcare
