Three things to know:
1. Use data. Sharing supply chain data at ASC meetings between physicians and other partners can help make them aware of what supplies cost per case.
2. Start small. Proposing and sticking to small changes will increase the likelihood that they will be successfully adopted by ASC staff.
3. Make commitments. If ASC staff are going to spend the time to collect the data, physicians and other supply chain leaders should commit to using the data in meaningful ways.
