Servicing the Wild West of Supply Chain Beyond the Hospital Confines
Aug 25, 2023
For the HaH market segment, supply chain must focus on the fundamentals, insists Julia Crist, COO, Inbound Health.
“Supply chain operations for hospital-at-home services face a key challenge – ensuring timely delivery of products and services,” she said. “Hospital-at-home patients require urgent attention, such as in-home imaging or infusion, and delays can lead to readmission or adverse events. Shorter service levels and broad geographic coverage require agile staffing. However, staffing shortages and cost constraints hinder the supply chain industry's ability to adapt to real-time operations.”
