As the year goes on , there ’ s a buzz around Day Kimball , as the company awaits the outcome of its application to the state of Connecticut to become a full member of a broader healthcare network , and the benefits that follow . “ As far as the next few years are concerned , we ’ ll continue to pursue automation ,” Lisa comments . “ Another shift to come out of Covid-19 was the realization that all the hospitals within the community share a single goal , and we can work together to achieve that – for instance , by adopting and leveraging the same proprietary products and technology , with a view to developing centralized purchasing processes .
“ It goes without saying , but our employees have been crucial to all our work to-date ,” Lisa concludes . “ They continue to share our vision for the future , thinking outside the box and generating ideas to help us evolve . The last few years have really shone a light on their work and its value . Now , we can look forward to the supply chain recovery that will provide us time to learn new industry strategy that can be applied as new practice in the years ahead .” ■
