Survival depends on effective partnerships with suppliers, management, and physicians.
Partnering in health care materiel management circles is a concept that has been discussed for years. We, as materiel managers, have never accomplished effective partnering; but I propose that if we are to have a professional future, we should learn to establish effective partnership arrangements with our various customers--externally and internally.
