Vizient shared the following supply chain tip on their blog:
“Service lines are strategic structures that integrate care across the continuum around a specialty, medical condition or population. Service lines strive to provide patient-centered, cost-effective care with superior outcomes.
Often led by both physicians and administrators, service line structures support and require physician direction and decision-making, particularly around clinical issues including use of supplies and devices and unwarranted clinical variation. As a result, you’re more likely to find accountability, visibility, priority and alignment across an organization that utilizes a service line structure.”
