• Lorna Coutoulas, President of the Central Service Association of Ontario will share how a typical Medical Device Reprocessing Dept serves the supply chain needs and challenges of the OR.

Presentations by the Operating Room Nurses Association of Canada (ORNAC) will illustrate the supply chain challenges and opportunities in the OR which is one of the biggest spend areas of the hospital. Vendor Credentialing will be a leading topic of discussion at this conference, as HSCN explores the desire by providers and suppliers for a Canadian standard for this initiative.

Other presentations and topics, including the new HSCN educational offerings, will be presented. Format changes to allow different times to visit with suppliers are being developed and the opportunities to network will be further enhanced to give delegates maximum value for the time they have available. Be sure to mark your calendar and plan to attend this one-of-a-kind event specifically for Canadian healthcare supply chain providers and suppliers.
