Cheryl Poplaski, Vizient's senior director of supply chain operations, outlined what ASCs can do to prepare for supply chain disruptions.
As more surgeries transition to the outpatient setting, ASCs are under increased pressure to have the necessary supplies and support available to nurses and surgeons to meet increasing demands.
Physician brand loyalty is one of the biggest challenges for ASCs that want to optimize supply chain operations, according to Westchester, Ill.-based Regent Surgical Health.
Here are four recent supply chain partnership and software releases:

Hospital-based supply chain strategies often work for ASCs too, said Molly Ehrlich, Vizient's consulting director of advisory solutions for supply chain operations.
HealthBanks and athenahealth entered into a partnership to provide HealthBanks' patient engagement solution to clinicians.
Casetabs, a developer of cloud-based surgery coordination technology, has received $3 million in funding for its surgery coordination application.
