138: Provider-Supplier Collaboration to Address the Whole Health Care Experience

In Sg2 Perspectives episode 125, we focused on how the role of supply chain is changing and how the biggest trends impacting demand will have corresponding impacts on supplies and spend. In this week’s episode, Vizient Associate Principal Doug Beinborn, Sg2 Principal Chad Giese and Sg2 Associate Principal Lisa McGuire dig deep into those trends, specifically at the service line level. Doug, Chad and Lisa discuss provider-supplier partnerships, the value proposition and growth potential of new technologies, and the role of the patient/consumer.

131: Learn From Everything You Do: Advice From Dr John Brumsted, President/CEO of University of Vermont Health

There is a “changing of the guard” happening across the health care industry right now as many hospital and health system CEOs are retiring, making way for a new generation of health care leaders to take over. Thus, on this week’s Sg2 Perspectives, we chatted with Dr John Brumstead, President/CEO of University of Vermont Health Network (UVM), who is retiring in September of this year. Dr Brumsted not only provides advice for future health care leaders and those hospitals/health systems seeking them, but also discusses guiding principles that made UVM successful, as well as the future of academic medical centers.
