Spend Management

Strategies for Sustainable Cost Management in Medical Device Spending

Webinar

As healthcare organizations face increasing pressure to do more with less, the ability to effectively manage medical device spend, while supporting physician engagement and patient outcomes, is logistically and financially complex. Orthopedic, spine, and cardiovascular service lines represent some of the highest spend categories for health systems; driven by rapid innovation, physician preference, and evolving reimbursement models. As margins tighten and care delivery continues to shift, building financial resiliency in these categories is no longer optional – it’s essential.

Join Ovation Healthcare’s AVP, Medical Device Advisory, Ryan Thomley, and CoxHealth’s Chief Supply Chain Officer, John Black, as they share real-world strategies for navigating cost pressures while maintaining clinical excellence. This course will provide a roadmap for navigating complexity, reducing unnecessary variation, and building a resilient, value-driven supply chain strategy for the future. Attendees will gain insight into how forward-thinking organizations are aligning stakeholders, optimizing device spend, and preparing for the future of value-based care.
