Last week, I had the privilege of moderating a panel at the inaugural THMA Chief Supply Chain Officer Forum in Washington, DC. A special thank you to my outstanding panelists—Ginger Sharp, CMRP, Philip Hampton, and Ronald Colaguori — for sharing your innovative strategies and vision for the future of the healthcare supply chain. It’s no surprise that AI dominated the discussions, sparking thoughtful debates on its first impactful use case. Stephen Downey’s insights on supply chain resiliency were particularly compelling. He emphasized that supply chain resiliency is only as effective as the quality of the data it’s built on. To truly transform healthcare supply chains, systems will need to be able to feed gen AI models with: 1. What we need: 97%+ clean and accurate preference cards with precise usage documentation and data, 2. What we have: Enterprise-wide, real-time transparency of every product across all locations in the health system, and 3. What we can get: Clear supplier signals on fulfillment capabilities, including distribution and substitution options. Organizations equipped to answer these three critical questions will be poised to harness AI’s transformative potential for both supply chain efficiency and patient care outcomes. One other key takeaway: the future of healthcare is shifting from competition to collaboration. System consortia and provider-manufacturer networks will play an essential role in driving innovation and resilience. Congratulations to The Health Management Academy on hosting an exceptional event. It was an honor to be a part of it!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we’re reflecting on what we’re most thankful for: the opportunity to partner with healthcare leaders who are redefining resilience in the face of challenges. Hospitals operate on razor-thin margins, often just 1-3%, making every dollar count. Research shows that smarter procurement strategies, like leveraging real-time data and transparent sourcing, can significantly reduce costs and increase efficiency—ultimately impacting patient care for the better. At InformIQ, we’re committed to being a trusted partner in this effort by: - Providing real-time intelligence to navigate drug shortages. - Offering transparent, no-markup pricing to maximize savings. - Ensuring seamless access to critical medications when you need them most. This Thanksgiving season, we’re grateful to serve those who make a difference every day. Let’s continue working together to make healthcare supply chains stronger, smarter, and more resilient.What are you thankful for this year?
