The inaugural US LogiMed last year was a huge success, but one of the biggest pieces of feedback we received from attendees was that in order to truly create maximum efficiency in the healthcare supply chain, there must be more communication and collaboration among providers and their suppliers. Here's your chance to learn the challenges of your customers and how they are having to operate as a result of healthcare industry changes following the Affordable Care Act.

Audience members, be ready to ask your questions and take part in the discussion!

• Providers share how to develop stronger relationships and work together to better the supply chains
• Understanding different nuances with different sized organizations. How can suppliers fit into the world of both large and small hospital networks?
• Where can efficiencies in the supply chain be realized?
• Manufacturers in the audience ask questions and share their ideas and insight into how providers and manufacturers can strengthen the supply chain to reduce cost all around
