Goal and Learning Outcomes

The financial changes that have beset the healthcare system have been the subject of countless publications. Hospital supply chains are continuing to mature at a rapid pace to reduce costs and increase operational efficiencies to combat consistently eroding margins.
 
Nursing leaders need to understand how supply arrives at its point of care and the associated financial impacts. Nursing leadership needs to be aware of the impact of group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and distributors in product selections and the role these organizations play in helping hospitals reduce their supply chain costs.
 
The goal of this course is to educate nursing leaders about the value analysis process, the total cost of ownership for supplies, the financial implications of the supply chain, and ways for nurse leaders to best manage within the complex, ever-changing healthcare environment.
