“This new level of service will standardize transportation operations and provide intra-company logistics process improvement opportunities for SLHS, while enabling our employees to be exceptional in their roles and take care of our patients at the highest level possible,” said Paul Lambert, system director of supply chain operations.
“MedSpeed is excited to begin providing intra-company logistics support to SLHS and helping them continue to support their mission to improve the health of individuals in Boise,” said Jake Crampton, CEO of MedSpeed. “With a strategic, technology-enhanced transportation network in place, SLHS can be more efficient and effective as the organization grows and migrates its focus from treating sickness to promoting wellness.”
St. Luke’s goal is to partner with a single company that leverages state-of-the-art technology for chain of custody tracking and quality metrics for reporting, Lambert said. “MedSpeed is perfectly aligned with us,” he said.
