Attendees will be provided guidance on developing a sourcing strategy for vendors/business partners. The “cheapest” price provider may or may not be the right business partner for you, your patients and your employer. Developing a win-win strategy provides long-lasting and trusting relationships that meet the needs of fiscal and quality constraints that are necessary in today’s healthcare environment.
