Can We Prove Clinical Collaboration Improves Supply Chain Operations?

In this episode, we speak to Betty Jo Rocchio about how Mercy was able to achieve transformational results in its perioperative services department through cross-departmental collaborations. 

 

The clinically integrated supply chain is a complex collaboration between clinicians, logisticians and leadership that focuses on quality of care, reduction of waste and product availability. By engaging stakeholders across a health system, supply chain leadership is better positioned to address challenges in inventory visibility, supply usage and documentation and workflow inefficiencies. 

 

Our guest, Betty Jo Rocchio, discusses how Mercy employed a holistic strategy to improve productivity and simplify system efficiency, and the central role that supply chain optimization played in that journey. 

 

Betty Jo Rocchio is the senior vice president and system chief nursing officer at Mercy in St. Louis.
