The Society for Healthcare Organization Procurement Professionals announces their inaugural symposium, May 5th to May 7th in Las Vegas.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Society for Healthcare Organization Procurement Professionals (SHOPP) announces their inaugural symposium, May 5th to May 7th in Las Vegas.
Various panels, keynotes and breakout sessions will focus on advancing the support of data-driven, ethical evaluation of products and solutions that achieve meaningful and financially responsible healthcare outcomes in our nation's healthcare industry. This symposium will empower procurement professionals to institute and advocate for value-based principles that improve patient care, maintain the integrity of the healthcare continuum and achieve efficient and cost-effective goals.
"Up till now, there have been no conferences or seminars that tackle these issues head on. The procurement professional is in the perfect position to address the tensions between financial and clinical leadership but needs a much deeper understanding to do so. This is the vacuum that SHOPP seeks to fill," says Josh Silverberg, cofounder of the Society.
Nationally renowned speakers will address these topics and more:
- Embracing Change - 20/20 Perspectives for the Procurement Professional
- SNF VBP, PDPM and Five-Star: The Impact of Your Procurement Decisions
- Turning Tensions into Tangibles – Bridging the Gap between Clinical and Financial Leadership
- The Compliance Mandate
- Technology, Reporting & Data Analytics
- Vertical integration of Healthcare and the Role of the Procurement Professional
- When is Outsourcing Right for You?
- From Rebates to Anti-Kickback, does a GPO always make sense?
"I'm honored to be speaking at this event," shared Steven Littlehale, Chief Innovation Officer at Zimmet Healthcare Services Group. "Having spent my career seeing how uninformed procurement decisions negatively impact both care and, ultimately, the bottom line…it's refreshing to see SHOPP tackle this head on."
