Nebraska Medicine

Nebraska Medicine, a leading academic medical center, is committed to its mission of transforming lives through research, education, and clinical care. Guided by their I-Teach values—innovation, teamwork, excellence, accountability, courage, and healing—the organization has continuously sought ways to enhance its operations. Dr. Michael Ash, President and Chief Operating Officer and Rick Daubenmier, Strategic Partnerships and Value Analysis at Nebraska Medicine highlight how the adoption of modern procurement solutions has been critical to achieving efficiency and reducing friction in their supply chain.

Initially, the procurement process was highly manual, but with smart business buying solutions like Business Prime and the integration of tools like Workday with Amazon Business has significantly streamlined their operations.

With a smart business buying relationship with Amazon Business, Nebraska Medicine was able to address challenges such as fluctuating pricing and product availability during the procurement process. The direct integration of Amazon Business with Workday eliminated redundant steps, saving time and offering fixed pricing for longer periods. This collaboration not only facilitated smoother purchasing workflows but also enabled the team to focus on their ultimate goal—ensuring caregivers have the right tools at the right time to deliver extraordinary care.

This strategic procurement alliance reflects Amazon Business' dedication to supporting Nebraska Medicine’s efforts, reaffirming their shared commitment to operational excellence and patient care.
