As healthcare supply chain departments focus more on value analysis and category management, analytics and access to data are critical to success. The systems used for supply chain management today are often built on old, inflexible technology that cannot link directly to the financial, planning, HR, analytics, and other critical applications necessary for full visibility and informed decision-making. Healthcare organizations adopting a strategic, analytical approach to supply chain management need a standardized system that combines procurement, inventory, and financials, and complements that with clinical utilization data to understand what is being used and what it costs. Most importantly, the approach needs to be repeatable, to allow for more categories to be analyzed and to track results.
With the right strategy and technology to support it, you can transform your supply chain process into an efficient, informed, and cost-containing operation that helps deliver care while supporting the business. That way, as the industry evolves, your healthcare organization can evolve with it.
