Surgeons, Supplies, and the Myth of Unlimited Choice

Behind every product on the OR shelf is a story of collaboration, evaluation, and evidence-based decision-making, not just a surgeon's request. This week we sit down with Joe Chua, OR Nurse and Value Analysis Professional from Dallas, Texas, to unpack the complex process of how surgical products make it from idea to implementation. Together, we'll explore the intersection of clinical practice and supply chain strategy, the importance of communication between teams, and the critical role of value analysis in supporting patient safety and financial stewardship. If you've ever wondered how product decisions are really made in healthcare, you won't want to miss this conversation. #operatingroom #supplychain #ornurse #scrubtech #podcast
