The most recent Webinar Wednesday presentation “Best Practices for Standardizing Medical Parts Procurement” by Nicole Hemphill and Jason Meister drew an international audience. The PartsSource-sponsored webinar had 257 individuals online for the live presentation, including participants from as far away as Guam.
Hemphill kicked off the presentation with examples of questions often heard when it comes to ordering parts. Questions included: How can I shorten the time it takes to place an order? And, How can I check the status of an order online?
Meister followed Hemphill and proceeded to provide answers to those questions and more in an informative presentation. Webinar attendees learned about the benefits of process standardization and modern best practices for parts procurement.
Meister provided an outline of the parts procurement process that includes medical parts identification, sourcing, ordering, tracking and reconciliation processes.
The webinar concluded with a Q&A session in which Meister and Hemphill fielded questions from webinar attendees. They also shared a white paper that examined how Trinity Health reported $3.6 million in savings on replacement parts in 2013.
The presentation received high ratings from attendees in a post-webinar survey.
“This is my first of what I hope to be many more webinars. It was both easy and insightful,” Clifford W. wrote.
“Thanks to Webinar Wednesday and to all the sponsors. I’m on the island of Guam and it’s hard to get to a training or even for a supplier to get to our site to give it. I’ve got a lot of information just by attending the webinars to fill the void,” Ricardo D. said in his survey.
“TechNation continues to provide real-world answers to relevant topics,” Joel P. shared.
