His innovative approach to financial performance created millions of dollars in savings for the health system. He was responsible for negotiating a health system-wide wholesaler agreement that resulted in more than $10M in savings, establishing a system-wide hub and spoke supply chain strategy from a consolidated pharmacy services center (CPSC) resulting in more than $2.5M in cost savings and avoidance, and developed a strategic sourcing program that resulted in nearly $5M in 18 months, to name a few examples. He was also responsible for developing a regulator and operational strategy that successfully allowed UW Health’s CPSC to achieve DEA manufacturer status to meet operational needs.
