Dirty Data, Broken Trust: Why Data Hygiene Matters

What happens when healthcare supply chain teams stop trusting their own data? In this episode of Power Supply, Shireen Ahmad, Executive Partner at Midstream, joins us to explain why data hygiene remains one of the biggest challenges in healthcare supply chain, and why its impact reaches far beyond IT. From ERP migrations and broken contract relationships to pricing discrepancies that can cost hospitals thousands of dollars per procedure, Shireen shares real-world examples of how poor data quietly undermines operations, sourcing, and financial performance. She also explores the growing role of AI, master data management, and governance, arguing that data hygiene is ultimately a trust issue, not just a technology issue.
