Don't take on too much at once! Start with custom packs and examine how much of what is included is utilized on every single case - eliminate items used less than 90% of the time.
Cost Reduction Tip #2
Assistance with the identification of physician practice difference can often be obtained from your high-volume sales representatives. Don't be afraid to request their help!
