Boosting Supply Chain Efficiency: Tips for Success


No matter what supply chain strategies are chosen to increase efficiencies, it's important for hospital supply chain managers and executives to consider the following tips for success:

1. Integrate supply chain management with overall hospital operations and encourage all clinical and non-clinical staff to learn and understand specific goals and work toward them to improve overall patient care.

2. Enlist physician support of supply chain management and engage in regular dialogue to ensure that business and clinical needs are consistently met.

3. Set goals and deadlines for tackling supply chain inefficiencies and track progress made toward overcoming them to hold yourself and your hospital accountable for the process.
