3:40 pm - 4:00 pm Keynote: Transitioning from Reactive to Proactive Service
Reactive service approach can be detrimental to your relationship with the customer and your business in general. While fixing unexpected equipment breakdowns as soon as they happen is important, the high costs associated with operating in reactive mode can never be returned.
Nevertheless, the transition to a proactive service model cannot be completed with a simple flip of a switch. Join the discussion about the roadblocks Omnicell encountered upon transitioning to preventative maintenance and the evolutionary steps the company took to:
-Analyze historical data to conceptualize proactive maintenance timelines and decisions
-Develop predictive analysis and algorithms to predict failures before they happen
-Select the right technology to complete the transition to proactive service
-Embed sensor technology in field service for real-time equipment performance monitoring
4:00 pm - 4:30 pm Customer Keynote: Customer’s Perspective on Vertical Healthcare Collaboration: Including Suppliers in Capital Planning
According to An Investigation of the Healthcare Supply Chain: Literature Review, “healthcare costs are expected to grow at a rate greater than that of the GDP, reaching almost $4.6 trillion and accounting for 19.6% of the GDP by 2019”. The unsustainability of healthcare costs is evident, and healthcare providers (HCPs) are constantly tasked with delivering quality patient care at minimal costs, which has a domino effect on their expectations for medical device products and field service.
Join F. Mike Busdicker for an over view of healthcare system-supplier partnerships that enhance capital planning process through:
-Including medical device organizations in HCP’s clinical engineering and supply chain process planning and equipment evaluation
-Assessing equipment inventory across the healthcare systems – having FS organizations/partners involved in HCP planning process
