Resilient by Design Versus Resilient by Heroics
Disruptions are a fact of life in healthcare supply chains. Providers and suppliers rely on phone calls, spreadsheets and extra effort from dedicated people to keep care moving. This session explores how to build resilience into everyday processes instead of depending on heroics. Hear about real challenges facing both sides, see how GHX solutions can help and leave with practical ideas for getting ahead of the next disruption.
Speakers:
Doug Keverline, Solution Specialist, GHX

Master Data DNA: The Building Blocks of a Healthier Supply Chain
Like DNA, a healthy supply chain is built from blocks: Every item, supplier and contract record. One flawed block can replicate errors through every requisition, PO, patient charge, inventory transaction, invoice and payment. See how clean, enriched and accurate data form the backbone of your operation, from sourcing to the point of care. You’ll learn how to strengthen those building blocks, eliminate rework and support confident decisions so your teams spend less time fixing data and more time supporting patients.
Speakers:
Jayne Nelson, Sr. Solution Engineer, GHX

Turning Supply Chain Visibility into Action
Providers and suppliers have digitized the fundamentals of healthcare trade. Orders, acknowledgments, shipment notices and invoices flow through EDI and the GHX Exchange every day. Yet pricing mismatches, transaction exceptions, fulfillment gaps and manual bill-only processes continue to drive rework, delayed payments and strained provider-supplier relationships. This session examines how the industry can evolve from simply sending and receiving transactions to orchestrating the processes behind them. You’ll learn where the industry is heading and how to prepare.
Speakers:
Alex Thomas, Sr. Solution Engineer, GHX

M&A and Divestitures: Simplifying Transitions for Providers and Suppliers
Every deal creates a supply chain puzzle. Providers must bring together systems, contracts and purchasing practices, while suppliers must ensure no business slips through the cracks as organizations merge, change or separate. This session explores the challenges both sides face before, during and after a transaction and how the right approach can reduce friction, protect relationships and revenue, and keep operations moving. You'll learn how to anticipate transition challenges and maintain continuity across provider-supplier relationships.
Speakers:
Andrea Bundermann, Sr. Solution Engineer, GHX
Connecting AP and AR: A Shared View That Benefits Both
A hospital AP team and a supplier AR team look at the same invoice and see different problems. AP sees exceptions, approvals and payment dates. AR sees disputes, short pays and days waiting for cash. This session follows an invoice from submission to payment and shows how GHX removes friction on both sides. The result is greater automation and lower costs, plus rebates for hospitals and faster payments for suppliers. You’ll learn where invoices stall and which invoice-to-payment challenges to tackle first in your own organization.
Speakers:
Ryan Earley, Solution Engineer, GHX
Faster Cash, Fewer Touches: Invoice and Payment Solutions

Visibility That Saves: Supply Chain Impact on Care, Cost and Continuity
Every product used at the bedside started as a supply chain decision. Teams can only make safe, cost-conscious choices with the information in front of them, and supply chain can only mitigate disruptions when supplier transparency is available. In this session, a clinician and solutions engineer will show how visibility across the supply chain network connects directly to the bedside. Explore how transparent product and clinical data guide safe and financially responsible purchasing. You’ll leave with practical ideas for aligning clinical and supply chain teams, protecting financial integrity and building a more resilient organization.
Speakers:
April Imel, Sr. Solutions Engineer. GHX
