Supply Chain Management

HealthLeaders Media Finance Editor Philip Betbeze interviews Jim McManus, vice president of finance at St. Joseph Health System in Orange, California. McManus' chief responsibility is supply chain management. His hospital system began a system-wide supply chain initiative in 2001 and in a system that spends more than a quarter of a billion dollars a year on pharma and physician preference items combined, Mcmanus and his team were able to achieve big results.
