In a professional setting, 97 percent of employees found that the quality of collaboration impacted the outcome of a task or project for better or for worse, according to a Salesforce Work.com study. Effective collaboration between stakeholders lays the foundation for successful projects, especially in the healthcare industry where challenges are constantly evolving, and meaningful partnerships are critical to overcoming issues. 

CME Corp introduces its latest resource, Supply Chain Solutions: Cultivating Successful Collaborative Partnerships, where we document three different projects that required effective collaboration for successful outcomes. The eBook quantifies savings for projects delivered in the Boston area, Ketchikan, AK and in the Mountain States. CME had to collaborate with a variety of stakeholders and fashion unique solutions in every case. 

As a basis for this resource we went to the Strategic Marketplace Initiative (SMI) and found the perfect reference document. Pathway to Collaboration Best Practices Manual is a valuable resource for people across the entire healthcare supply chain who want to build lasting, collaborative relationships. Looking to SMI to guide best practices allows for CME, and others seeking collaborative relationships, to optimize the collaborative process and provide the best service to clients.

While there are many ways to collaborate successfully, in supply chain partnerships identifying the stakeholders, cultivating open lines of communication and trust and delegating based on the unique skills and resources available are instrumental to successful collaboration. Using this framework, CME has participated in many collaborative projects and produced successful outcomes for clients and partners, alike. CME is an equipment centric distributor that has a comprehensive portfolio of related services to better serve our healthcare customers across the country. These services include product choices, procurement, receiving, warehousing, assembly, staging, biomedical services, delivery direct-to-site and installment.
