OpenMarkets Broadcast Series Aimed at Improving the Health Equipment Procurement Process

CHICAGO - Nov. 8, 2016 - PRLog -- OpenMarkets (https://www.openmarketshealth.com/), the collaborative platform for buying and selling capital healthcare equipment, announced that it will host its first equipment supplier-focused broadcast as part of its educational series for the supply chain community.

The series is aimed at educating buyers and sellers of capital equipment on how new processes and intelligence can be utilized to save valuable time, better collaborate, and maximize their resources.

"Research shows that over $30B in healthcare equipment is bought and sold every year," said OpenMarkets Senior Vice President Tom Derrick. "Improving the capital equipment process and enabling better relationships between provider and suppliers, we can cut a significant amount of waste out of that amount – and ultimately, return those dollars back to the patient."

Empowering supply chain teams and capital equipment suppliers, OpenMarkets functions as a unique resource for reducing time and error, and increasing access and transparency in the capital equipment purchasing process.  They host educational web broadcasts as a way to share knowledge and further the mission of improving the capital equipment market.

UPCOMING: CHALLENGES OF SELLING TO A HEALTH SYSTEM

WHEN: Thursday, November 17^th at 12 noon EST / 9am PST

DESCRIPTION:Over $30 billion in new healthcare equipment is bought and sold every year in the United States. And the complexity of buying and selling modern imaging equipment, OR tables, and anesthesia units rivals the complexity of the equipment itself, ultimately driving the price of equipment up.

Understanding the key challenges faced in selling to health systems can help health system supply chain teams more efficiently work with equipment suppliers. In this session, Kelly Rodriguez of Toshiba Medical will discuss how a lack of transparency, access and understanding create inefficiency on the supplier side. We'll discuss how working openly and proactively with suppliers can not only create better relationships, but show how this directly improves the bottom line for both health systems and their supplier partners.

There is no cost to attend.  Registration is at https://education.openmarketshealth.com/
