Today’s health care environment demands that information be shared in a fast and efficient manner. Technology has advanced with lightning speed and systems have become more sophisticated. They are capable of customizing management reports, coordinating information from multiple data points and locations, and communicating electronically to other systems.

Through all technological evolutions, however, two basic components remain the same: all computers possess hardware and use software programs. New information technologies and automated systems are redefining how the supply chain department (and hospital) functions. Today’s supply chain staff must be technologically savvy as well as develop good relationships with IT department staff.

Learning Objectives:

• Promote development of supply chain system communication standards and define common ANSI X12 EDI transaction sets.
• Identify the significance of supply chain data standards and list multiple benefits of UDI system implementation for health care organizations.
• Apply common global supply chain data standards to your organization's MMIS and collaborate with IT and Health Information Management to facilitate records management storage, archival and retrieval.
• Describe key MMIS requirements and differentiate between MMIS and ERP systems.
• Develop an MMIS assessment and gap analysis process and implementation plan and list the steps of an MMIS acquisition.
