Fri, 12 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Unfortunately, this event has been canceled.

Webinar Summary

Healthcare supply disruptions are no longer isolated events—they are recurring challenges driven by seasonal demand spikes, product recalls, labor shortages, and other system and industry-level service issues. Without proactive planning, these disruptions can directly impact patient care and operational efficiency.

This educational webinar is designed for healthcare supply chain and operational leaders seeking practical, collaborative approaches to anticipate and manage product shortages. Participants will explore common causes of supply disruptions, share real-world experiences with peers, and learn proven strategies for mitigating risk through cross-functional partnerships, data insights, and structured planning.

The session will also highlight real-world examples of how supply chain optimization teams support hospitals in building resiliency, improving visibility, and maintaining continuity of care—regardless of supplier relationships.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

Identify key drivers of product shortages and demand spikes in healthcare settings
Apply proactive planning techniques to minimize disruption risk
Leverage internal and external partnerships to resolve shortages faster
Understand practical, scalable supply chain optimization strategies
