Medline shared the following insight on consignment:
“Consignment ordering is flexible. ASCs can stock supplies for everyday use, as well as for emergency cases, which allow for cost savings as the center is billed only for what is used. Through using consignment, inventory management is handled by the supplier rather than the ASC, saving staff time.”
