ASC supply chain tip of the day: Compile procedure packs

Time is a limited resource, especially at surgery centers. ASCs can free up time for clinicians by combining the supplies used most often into a procedure pack, streamlining operations and reducing supply costs, according Mandie Shipp, senior consultant in clinical operations for healthcare supply chain company Cardinal Health.

A tip Ms. Shipp shared with Becker’s ASC Review:

“Create all-in-one procedure packs, and clinicians won’t need to leave the operating room to get extra items from the storeroom. They can focus more on patients, instead of picking supplies.”
