As the hospital supply chain matures, suppliers to hospitals need to evolve as well. With all of the change occurring, medical technology suppliers in particular face a choice. Embrace the change and help save billions in healthcare costs or try to survive operating in an evolving market using an old business model. By Dan Bayer, VP and GM Life Sciences, Model N
