Healthcare supply chains are facing unprecedented challenges from regulatory shifts, supply shortages, global health emergencies, and new tariff proposals from the Trump administration. For in-house counsel and supply chain professionals within healthcare organizations, mitigating risk and ensuring contract and supply chain resilience is essential to safeguarding patient care and maintaining operational continuity. In this practical session, led by Vanessa Miller and Greg Husisian, participants will learn actionable strategies for drafting and negotiating contracts that secure continuous access to vital medical supplies, uphold stringent regulatory standards, foster robust supplier partnerships, and help ensure that their companies understand the supply chain risks arising out of the new Trump tariffs and other international trade priorities of the new administration. Attendees will gain key insights into structuring contracts for agility during crises, managing pricing volatility in pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and effectively resolving disputes to protect both patient outcomes and organizational stability.

Key Takeaways:

  • Crafting specialized force majeure and contingency clauses that address healthcare-specific disruptions—including pandemics, regulatory changes, new tariffs, and supplier shortages.
  • Effectively managing tariffs and pricing volatility in pharmaceuticals and medical devices, while incorporating risk-sharing mechanisms tailored to healthcare needs.
  • Implementing best practices in contract negotiation to ensure supply continuity, maintain regulatory compliance, and cultivate long-term supplier partnerships.
  • Developing escalation strategies and leveraging contractual provisions to swiftly resolve supply chain disputes and minimize impacts on patient care.

While certain health care providers will be exempted from the rule, many will not. As such, and if the rule survives legal challenge, health care industry participants should carefully consider how the rule will impact their recruitment and retention strategies going forward.
