Editor's Note

Business news and information doesn’t end with the conclusion of the OR Business Management Conference. OR a.m., our daily e-newsletter, summarizes current developments that are likely to impact the jobs of perioperative services leaders, and articles in OR Manager address clinical, business, leadership, and regulatory issues.

In the February issue, we looked at the evolution of supply chain technology (“Disruptive Innovation in Supply Chain: Impact of Amazon and Technology”), and we’ll continue that conversation with Part 2 in the March issue. Later this spring, we’ll explore the emerging field of artificial intelligence in a special series of articles, and we’ll present news from the 2018 OR Manager Conference and the 2019 OR Business Management Conference.

Another resource is Dollar$ and $ense: Using Data-Driven Business Models to Boost the Bottom Line, a compilation of articles that reflect industry trends, reimbursement requirements, and new business and patient care models. To order a copy, visit www.ormanager.com and click on Store.
