Medical Supply Chain Virtual Series – Starts March 21, 2023  

In 2019-2020 the DEPR hosted a speaker series on Supply Chain Management. The idea of these meetings was to provide a baseline knowledge of the supply chain for healthcare entities across the spectrum of care.  Since that time a lot of things have changed, with COVID-19, supply chain storages and staffing challenges just to name a few.  DEPR would like to revisit the topics discussed back in 2019-2020 and provide a recap, first discussing briefly what was discussed in the original presentation but then moving into lesson learned and where we go from here. The series starts March 21, 2023, and continues the 3rd Tuesday of every month through August.  The first two virtual webinars covering general topics for supply chain and then in the series would focus in on particular topics specific to hospitals, long term care and EMS agencies. These would be virtual presentations for healthcare providers throughout Michigan. Please share the below Save the Date with your members and make sure to sign up!
