I just sat through a meeting knowing that I’m getting screwed. On the surface I’m being told that everyone must meet new standards and bear the responsibility for carrying them out. These standards were developed in conjunction with the large suppliers to a hospital I serve. I had no input at all. The large suppliers can easily meet the new standards. I’m a very small company–a mom and pop shop. We deliver the same product, but while the large suppliers can easily manage to meet the additional requirements, I can’t. I don’t know if the administrators are deliberately trying to squeeze out the little guys like us or whether they have no idea about the power squeeze tactics I see. How can I get the hospital administrators to listen to me?
