This paper shares lessons from the 2026 Cook Medical Supply Chain Fellowship with Adventist Health on strengthening healthcare supply chain resilience. It examines cath lab inventory workflows, compares manual and technology enabled processes, and evaluates Surgence capabilities in analytics, inventory, substitutions, supply constraints, and procurement. Readers will learn how better visibility and standardized replenishment can support operations and patient care, and why reliable data, clear ownership, and actionable workflows are essential to turning digital tools into measurable value.
