Posdcast 45-Hands Down the Best Tool in the Healthcare Supply Chain - Continual Benchmarkin

Benchmarking is nothing new to the healthcare supply chain and
clearly you are thinking right now that, “We Benchmark at Our
Hospital/System!” So, you know the value of benchmarking from one
level or another, but do we apply this to our supply chain and
value analysis initiatives as much as we could? The answer to that
question is a big no! Why is this? First and foremost, nobody wants
to be compared to another organization and even worse, be told that
you are weak or not up to snuff in an area that you should be or
perhaps you feel you are. Yes, you have a choice, choose to ignore
the benchmark or try to ask, why is this, why are we running high
and what can we do to be the “Best Benchmark” instead of the lower
comparative?
