The Significance of a Reliable Supply Chain
A reliable supply chain is essential for maintaining smooth operations in a healthcare organization. It encompasses the flow of goods, services, and information from the point of origin to the point of consumption. An optimized supply chain ensures timely delivery of critical medical supplies, reduces costs, minimizes waste, and improves patient care.
Common Supply Chain Challenges Faced by Healthcare Organizations
