Tracey Shearer : Looking forward to speaking at the upcoming PASA Events Aged Care conference, where I’ll be talking about repositioning procurement’s role in supporting the sector.
Declining #financialsustainability and with the average residential aged care operating at a loss*, there are many wicked problems to solve. Increasing regulatory requirements and staffing a crucial concern, procurement’s role needs to shift to #businesspartner or #internalconsultant, unpacking #valuechains to free up valuable staff time, and work with its stakeholders to improve quality of service, providing choice for their clients, whilst still maintaining #value at its core.
