So it's little wonder a survey conducted last year of critical care, OR nurses and nurse executives found that half of the 1600 respondents feel they spend too much time on supply chain duties. Most also said their supply chain duties impact patient safe ty and their ability to provide bedside care. Experts interviewed for this report believe it's time for supply chain leaders and nurses to develop a closer working partnership. Included are their recommendations to improve performance.

For materials managers, wound care nurses and others involved in product selection, keeping up with the changes can be a challenge. Here wound care experts, manufacturers and other sources highlight some of the many recent product advances and their applications. In addition, sources comment on the field of regenerative medicine and where it may be headed.

The best plans evolve based on lessons learned during an actual event. The four-level program implemented at Aurora Health Care in Milwaukee shows how improved results can be achieved by focusing on communications. Their work before the second wave of the H1N1 influenza outbreak helped the organization avoid some of the product shortages and capacity strains so many other hospitals and health systems experienced.

If so, this may increase the potential risk for endoscope cross-contamination. The ECRI Institute, Plymouth Meeting, Pa., called attention to this issue recently by ranking the potential for cross-contamination of endoscopes the No. 1 technology hazard in its third annual report on the subject. But by establishing and executing proper protocols for endoscope reprocessing, hospitals can better manage this risk.

Since April 2009, we have been overwhelmed with requests for influenza pandemic-specific products. We have had to search for additional supplies while dealing with concerns over burgeoning needs. At the same time, we have been inundated with stories about disaster preparedness as it relates to the H1N1 pandemic influenza. And now, even with the number of H1N1 cases receding, we must be prepared for whatever emergency may arise next.

The UDI would be used to identify a vast array of medical products and would streamline the hospital supply chain while improving patient safety. For instance, having a UDI in place would assist product recall efforts. But getting hospital supply chain leaders, manufacturers, group purchasing organizations and others to embrace UDI standards won't be easy. Here's a look at what's ahead.

To get the long-term results you're seeking, consider using lean management principles and focusing on process improvements. This requires taking a broader view of why and how supplies are stored the way they are. The five-step process outlined here provides a framework for achieving lasting, sustainable results and covers everything from standardizing work areas to eliminating excess product storage.

This effort to transform patient care through shared innovations highlights achievements at various hospitals around the country in areas including patient safety, reducing health care-acquired infections, medication management and patient throughput. As this report illustrates, the roles of materials management, nursing, infection control specialists and others are critically important to this effort.

These studies have examined everything from when these devices should be used to the various types of coatings used in AICVCs. So how can value analysis coordinators, infection control professionals and nurses best make sense of all the research when making purchasing decisions? Here's a no-nonsense approach to understanding the evidence.

The object is to identify those people, see what they're doing differently and share it with the larger group. The Plexus Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently collaborated on a six-hospital positive-deviance study that reduced methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection rates by 70 percent. What these hospitals learned may help others cut their MRSA rates.

The leading-edge techniques promise to reduce costs by helping hospitals quickly determine which patients to isolate because they carry active methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, for example, or which ones to release from prophylactic isolation because they ultimately tested negative for a dangerous infection. But diagnostic speed comes at a price--the costs to perform molecular tests are significantly higher than conventional methods. This challenges ...

Cost containment is an obvious issue, as is ensuring patient safety. Where collaboration becomes paramount is when the two departments work together toward standardization while giving infection control the flexibility to buy off-contract when necessary. Both must have an understanding of what products are available and which of those products are going to fit the needs of clinicians and patients.

Knowing the effects of such chemicals is important so that the proper measures can be taken to prevent personal harm or injury as much as possible. Through the use of personal protective equipment, worker training and firmly adhering to OSHA practices, employees can work safely in the central service environment; especially when used in conjuction with engineering controls and gas monitoring.

New demands are being made on materials managers, and other departments also are feeling the economic pressure. But change is not possible without the support of leaders, especially those in executive positions. By making a convincing case to those who embrace change, a culture shift can begin to take place. This will unify departments, synchronize organizational goals and create a more efficient decision-making process involving clinicians.

Attention to detail is critical because everything from materials to patients will be affected. So, to ensure the move is both safe and cost efficient, materials managers should take advantage of the lead time to communicate with other departments and other hospitals that have made moves to learn from their experiences.

These countries rely on the help of such not-for-profit organizations as Doc to Dock, which collect unused supplies from hospitals across the United States to ship overseas. To set up a supply donation program, contact any of the organizations listed on page 27. You'll most likely be saving a life, not to mention the environment.

But by taking a closer look at inbound freight costs, materials managers might discover an untapped resource for saving thousands, and in some cases millions, of dollars. Finding out how costs vary among vendors for shipping the same type of item can eliminate unnecessary freight charges. Initially, the process takes time, but the bottom line will be better for it.

Many have stated that GPOs are evolving, becoming more flexible to help further meet the needs of hospitals. While the government frowns on the fees paid by hospitals, those in purchasing positions say that they gladly pay fees because of how effective GPO involvement is during contract negotiations.

Though not an easy task, it is possible when departments work together especially with materials management. But due to financial implications, administration should be involved at the inception of an interdisciplinary committee charged with effecting change. One of the many issues to be addressed is constructing a comprehensive latex policy.

One key point is that organizations should use their own contract template instead of the supplier's. This automatically puts a purchasing department at an advantage, as long as the templates are up-to-date. Also, seemingly innocuous language can be financially detrimental in the end, so it is imperative that anyone involved in the process be educated about contract language.
