Company’s president initiates blog with an open letter to hospital CEOs

Raleigh, NC – March 5, 2009 – MediClick, a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) supply chain solutions in the healthcare industry, today announced the company launched a healthcare blog geared towards improving hospital supply chains. The blog will be authored by MediClick president, Mike Merwarth.

“Too often the supply chain is overlooked in long-term strategy,” said Merwarth. “Our industry is being forced to reevaluate our current business models to evolve and survive. I believe the healthcare supply chain should be a major focus for change.”

The blog begins with an open letter to hospital CEOs urging strategic action. It continues with what hospitals can do to adapt in a bleak economy to balance expansion with smart cost containment. Future content will address the importance of elevating the roles of supply chain executives to support the work they do to rein in ever-inflating costs of clinical preference items. In addition, the blog will key in on effective value analysis processes as a way to reduce these costs.

“Everyone in the industry needs to work together to make a substantive change,” said Merwarth. “I hope this blog will stimulate conversation and a call-to-action to help improve supply chain inefficiencies in our hospitals.”

Merwarth welcomes comments and questions not only from healthcare supply chain personnel, but other hospital executives, staff and industry bloggers. The blog can be found at www.blog.mediclick.com.
