Soon after accepting my position as materials manager for Marysville Surgical Center in Marysville, Ohio, I looked at ways to reduce our per-case supply costs. To start, I focused on our procedure packs. You'd be surprised how much you can save by re-organizing your packs. My facility has saved $32,000 per year since I pulled unused supplies from our packs and replaced pricey items with less expensive options. But it's more than "out with the old and in with the new" — and cheaper. Here's how I overhauled our packs, and how you can do the same at your facility.
