As the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the world, many hospitals quickly stockpiled supplies they had never sourced before, and now they have items they didn’t use during the peak of the pandemic. How do hospitals get their COVID-19 stockpile in order?

Angela McNally and Patrick McMahon of Owens & Minor discuss this challenge and more with John Pritchard of The Journal of Healthcare Contracting (JHC) in the second part of a two-part series covering hospitals and IDNs resuming surgeries. It’s the latest Healthcare Supplychain Radio podcast called “Managing Inventory Post-COVID.”

“Hospitals face dynamic challenges moving forward due to carrying large amounts of inventory with unpredictable demand,” said Pritchard. “Angela and Patrick speak to post-COVID strategies that can prepare hospitals for the long-term and for future epidemics.”
