Also, work closely with your vendors and distributors. Ask them, ‘Based on my current purchasing and usage, can you help me identify three product changes I could make that would save me money?’ I really try to partner with vendors and put the onus back on them to identify areas to save money. Work with them to do a trial on product changes, make sure everybody is on board with making a switch, then go to your board and demonstrate for them that making the change will save the identified amount of money on your ASC’s bottom line at the end of the year.
