Disruptions are on the rise for healthcare supply chain management
Business continuity is a growing issue for healthcare providers. Manufacturer consolidation as well as climate events and economic and political upheaval are disrupting healthcare supply chains at a greater rate than in the past. In addition, many integrated delivery networks (IDNs) continue to be reactive to back orders and recalls of essential medical products, rather than focusing on longer-term solutions that provide business continuity while maintaining profitability.
Build a more resilient healthcare supply chain
Threats and crises usually do not come with advance warnings. It is crucial to be resilient, with the ability to respond to change positively and proactively. In today’s environment with higher expectations of supply chain, healthcare providers must be ready to not only respond to change and challenges, but even anticipate them. Supply chain leaders at IDNs must employ preventive measures such as improved data analytics, external intelligence and supplier visibility to build a more resilient supply chain.
