About John Collins
With over 20 years of experience in healthcare contracting, risk management, and process improvement, I am a seasoned business development executive who holds a Senior Professional in Supply Management (SPSM) certification. This credential reflects my proficiency and credibility in strategic sourcing, supplier relationship management, and contract negotiation, which are essential for delivering value and innovation to healthcare organizations. Most recently, I led the non-employed labor strategy at Ochsner Health, one of the largest and most respected health systems in the Gulf South. In this role, I applied my expertise in risk reduction, policy writing, and project management to optimize Ochsner\'s contingent and non-employed workforce, resulting in significant savings and operational excellence. Some of my key accomplishments include reducing contingent agency cost by 48%, creating and implementing a non-employed labor policy, and driving the implementation of a vendor management system for clinical staffing. I also partnered with various internal and external stakeholders to ensure alignment and collaboration on strategic initiatives and best practices.
