From the March 2011 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine
Supply chain improvement is nothing new and many industries have perfected its management to a science. But the health care industry has a lot of catching up to do. While hospitals have addressed some of the aforementioned issues, very few have implemented a solution that unifies the entire hospital inventory system – from the loading dock to the clinical area – under one transparent system. Until they do, hospitals will continue to be less efficient and patient care won’t be as good as it should be.
