NON-ACUTE
AdventHealth: Non-Acute Care and the Supply Chain Editor’s Note: Darrick Adams, Director of Non-Acute Supply Chain for AdventHealth, recently spoke to The Journal of Healthcare Contracting for a Q&A podcast about the non-acute space, the supply chain and the evolving roles of supply chain leaders in healthcare. He highlighted key insights that have helped AdventHealth in the non-acute supply chain space.
No. 1: The expanding role of supply chain leaders Darrick Adams, Director of NonAcute Supply Chain, AdventHealth: I came on board at AdventHealth in February 2019. One of the things that attracted me to the job was it was solely focused on non-acute. Not every health system has that position. Coming in and establishing my credibility with the group helped set us up for success. Meeting everybody and getting them to understand A) what my role was, B) what my experience was and C) how we can help mold the future of non-acute healthcare for AdventHealth together was important. Throughout my time here – whether it’s been working on formularies or battling hoarding and other issues during the pandemic – I think we’ve done a good job of setting ourselves up well for the future.
