Delivering leading edge education and solutions from our valued exhibitors, and key announcements regarding upcoming curriculum programming and projects our members can expect from AHRMM during Monday’s General Session.


HCB News: Are there any sessions or presentations that you're particularly excited about?
MS: I want to thank our colleagues from across the health care field for submitting their session abstracts and acknowledge the work of our Annual Conference Education Committee in finalizing the excellent line-up of speakers and content to the benefit of our attendees.

Leadership will be one of our key themes. Some examples include our first ever CQO Learning Lab Workshop that will be open to all conference attendees. This session will be facilitated by Brian and Melanie Jones from the Table Group (founded by Patrick Lencioni) which will be focusing on leadership training and team building skills. Our Federal Sector Transformational Leadership session which will bring together both Military and Civilian senior leaders who will share how they have navigated transformational leadership in health care systems. Tuesday’s General Session, Talent Triumph: Overcoming Workforce Challenges in the Health Care Supply Chain where we will explore emerging trends in talent development and gain valuable insights into the evolving competencies required for both subject matter experts and leadership roles.

Our round tables sessions will highlight our continued efforts to mitigate Human Trafficking within the health care supply chain, and raise awareness to the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), the FDA’s current stabilization period and trading partners’ interoperable systems and processes for enhanced drug distribution security.

We will host a no-cost preconference session that highlights AHRMM’s Health Care Learning Community on Sustainability. This community of like-minded supply chain professionals has come together to explore how to increase sustainability through the practices, products and services used in the delivery of care. Learn more about the focus of our three work groups as they share their leading practices currently under development.

HCB News: What are some of the hot topics you expect attendees to be talking about at this year's meeting?
MS: The ever-popular topic of AI, but not forgetting about the importance of Business Intelligence (BI). Other themes include workforce recruitment and retention, spend under management and supply chain’s role in non-labor spend, developing today’s supply chain professional into tomorrow's supply chain leader, and the power of collaboration between providers and suppliers.
