Prepare the documented evidence accreditation assessors expect on medical vendor performance.
Evaluating the Performance of Medical Supply and Device Vendors
A structured, applied course in medical vendor performance — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Variation in medical vendor performance between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Clinical staff will work around a process for this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services that obstructs care, and they will be right to. Participants apply this area of health and pharmaceutical services to their own clinical service throughout, so the output is directly usable. Applied research in health and pharmaceutical services consistently shows that early structure around medical vendor performance reduces downstream rework. Participants who influence the health and pharmaceutical services discipline without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants leave with a method for this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services, not a set of opinions about it. Moving medical vendor performance from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the health and pharmaceutical services capability in an order their organisation can absorb. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the health and pharmaceutical services discipline ready to put in front of a decision maker.
