Strategies that have worked in the past are no longer relevant for the future. C-suite executives have been catapulted into complex supply chain challenges and related disruptions, and healthcare facilities have struggled to accommodate an influx of COVID-19 patients. “Rethinking Healthcare Facility Design Post-Pandemic” discusses the future of healthcare design and operations, developing flexible and adaptable spaces that ensure systems are prepared to swiftly respond to all potential threats—pandemics, natural disasters, violence and terrorism. And, in the event of disruption, it’s imperative to ensure that suppliers and the C-suite are communicating. “The New Supply Chain Paradigm: C-Suite Strategies for Supply Chain Reengineering” offers insight into how health systems can reevaluate the supply chain: plan reserve stocks, alter their approaches to strategic supplier management, define the roles key distributors and manufacturers will play going forward, migrate from transactional relationships to strategic partnerships with suppliers, and implement best practices for managing surge inventories. Finally, the systems of the future will rely more extensively on partnership, making it crucial to navigate conflict effectively to bolster trust. “New Strategies in Service Line Co-Management: Case Studies of Turning Conflict into Partnering” delves into the art of creating boundaries for more effective dealmaking.

Learning Objectives:

• Illustrate how healthcare facilities can swiftly respond to disasters, such as a pandemic, from an operations perspective.
• Interpret future implications of technology and operations in the planning and design of healthcare facilities.
• Receive insights into strengthening the integration between the C-suite and the supply chain operations.
• Discuss best practices for strategic planning for the reengineering of the supply chain and the roles for the C-suite.
• Describe how to navigate challenges with conflict and low trust between physicians and hospitals to achieve enhanced physician-hospital partnering in key service lines.
• Explain how key Stark and Anti-Kickback requirements that apply to service line co-management arrangements create helpful boundaries for more effective dealmaking.
