Dallas, TX (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 7, 2008 -- Supply chain experts from Broadlane and Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health System will speak about supply chain redesign at NCI’s Spring 2008 IDN Summit & Expo May 28-30, 2008 in Orlando, Florida. David Klumpe, Pharm.D., executive vice president, enterprise accounts, Broadlane, and Don Klusmeier, supply chain executive liaison, Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health System (SCLHS), will present “Using Value Analysis Teams as the Catalyst for Supply Chain Redesign.”

Participants will learn how an organization’s executive leadership team can promote the central role of clinicians in all supply chain decision-making activities through an integrated value analysis team (VAT) program.

“A well-designed and well-managed VAT process can serve as a focal point for all vendor, product and equipment choices and also normalize associated clinical practices,” said Klumpe. “We will be sharing ways to hold VAT members, team leaders and representatives accountable for their vendor and product decisions during contract implementation and daily purchasing activities.”

In addition, Sam Colletti, RPh, director, pharmacy operations, Broadlane, will moderate a panel discussion – “Pharmaceutical Supply Chain in the Event of Catastrophes.” Colletti is chairman of the NCI Pharmacy Education Committee and a member of Broadlane’s enterprise account team, serving CHRISTUS Health’s pharmacy clinical service line.

The pharmacy panel discussion will include several topics:

1.   Pandemic flu and appropriate emergency response
2.   Providing pharmacy services to the public in disaster areas
3.   National patient safety goals

Kristie Reeves-Cavaliero, Pharm.D., BCPS, director, clinical pharmacy resources, Broadlane, will present “National Patient Safety Goals 3E: Fundamentals and Compliance Expectations.”

This session will describe:

1.   Implementation expectations of NPSG 3E
2.   Timeline requirements for implementation of programs to comply with NPSG 3E
3.   Clinical pharmacy program needs to appropriately manage inpatient anticoagulation therapy in accordance with NPSG 3E
4.   Clinical and laboratory monitory policy recommendations for specific anticoagulation therapies
