Streamlining Health Care Supply Chain Operations as Systems Grow

Health care supply chain challenges are growing. But supply chain leaders can convert this potential logistical nightmare into an opportunity with the right planning and execution.

The AHA Center for Health Innovation’s new Trailblazers report, “Streamlining Supply Chain Practices as Health Systems Expand,” explores ways that hospitals and health systems are responding successfully to today’s challenges.

These organizations are focusing on three key areas: people, processes and technology to help standardize operations, eliminate redundancy and increase operational efficiency.

Case studies on Munson Healthcare in Traverse City, Michigan, and BJC HealthCare in St. Louis, Missouri, detail how supply chain leaders are addressing issues such as staffing, ensuring product availability, technology compatibility across health systems, data quality and product variation.

The report, sponsored by Amazon Business, also offers tips on developing a strategy for integrating new facilities into a health system and how to move from potential mayhem to success in the transition.
