5 Ways to Control Primary Care Supply Chain Costs

Cutting healthcare costs is a daily endeavor for many primary care practices. This has become especially important as payers increasingly tie claims reimbursement amounts to quality and cost performances. Many managers and executives of primary care facilities look first at billing and services for cost-cutting ideas, but one more immediate and effective method of reducing costs is in the arena of healthcare supply chain management.
