A longtime leader in healthcare improvement, we’re developing new ways to revolutionize the industry.
Social distancing and shelter-in-place ordinances during the COVID-19 crisis have caused many small businesses to close their doors or shift to online sales. Unfortunately, some criminals are exploiting the situation to defraud customers and business owners with gouging or grey market activity, says John P. Sganga, Senior Vice President of Alternate Site Programs at Premier.
"Regardless of your industry, it’s imperative to be judicious in how you order supplies, compare pricing and vet your products. When looking for cost-effective ways to procure goods online, a little vigilance goes a long way to ensure quality, value-driven purchases. Here are some more best practices I’ve learned over the years to avoid time-consuming miscues and to ensure a secure and quality online supply chain."
