“I think we have to approach cost savings differently – typically, it’s been focused on cost reductions with vendors, always chasing better prices. We’re looking at managing the business differently through integration across the system, where service line standardization produces supply chain standardization and vendor and resource consolidation.”

– Todd Turner, Senior Director, Supply Chain Strategic Sourcing, Mass General Brigham

“We’ve found that it’s really a strong partnership with our clinicians focused on mutual goals that moves the needle. We’ve focused on working with our quality department to bring the financial and outcomes metrics together to paint the picture and take them on the journey that always leads back to the patients. Because at the end of the day, we’re all working toward the same goals – better outcomes. And then eventually, we’re not at 22 ends of the table – we’re on the same side of the table.”

– Ellie Kirshenbaum, Value Analysis Clinical Manager, Nebraska Methodist Health System
