Owens & Minor invites the healthcare community to join us for this continuing education webinar: Demand Planning: Minimizing Risk in Procuring Med/Surg. Supplies.

Date: June 28, 2022 at 12:00 – 1:00 PM Central Time / 1:00 – 2:00 PM Eastern Time

The last two years have taught us that demand planning is critical to sustaining clinical operations in times of heightened risk. In this panel discussion, leaders will examine how the strategies of providers, distributors, and manufacturers have changed and how these changes will impact future planning. Will distributors carry more supply? Will providers carry more inventory? Will product lines be manufactured closer to home? How are we building transparency to map the greater supply chain from raw material to final product distribution? The discussion will continue focusing on the communication flow and approaches to demand planning models, challenges, and relationships.

The objectives of the webinar include:

  • Consider the communication flow and how all organizations need to contribute to reducing risk
  • Explain the demand planning strategies providers, distributors and manufacturers are taking now including key metrics to help reduce risk in supply disruption
  • Incorporate actionable short and long-term risk mitigation strategies into your current processes
