Interim management is a valuable and effective choice when deciding to fill a vacant supply chain executive position. Whether the position is new, or intended to replace a departing incumbant, interim management provides day-to-day leadership of operations that affect up to 50% of a hospital's operating budget and has a direct impact on the quality of patient care, plus nurse and patient satisfaction.

Further, an experienced interim leader allows provider senior executives time to develop a supply chain strategic direction, identify and evaulate candidates best matched  (knowledge, experience and skill set) with the organization's culture and the requirements needed for successful execution of the supply chain strategic direction.
