Description: Transforming the hospital supply chain mandates a sea change in thinking as well as practices. It means that supply chain managers need to define their role and begin to execute value-added activities across all aspects of the value chain. This book demonstrates different levels of supply chain performance, providing guidance on how hospital and health system executives can use supply chain strategies to evaluate total costs of goods and services, including price in relation to outcomes and cost avoidance. These tools for transforming supply chain will allow hospitals to become more efficient, while improving overall hospital operations.
