The primary objective of the procurement and sourcing department of any healthcare entity or institution is to ensure a consistent supply of products and services, serving the organization's organizational needs. Their activities align with the mission and prime goals of the company, while at the same time attempting to establish and sustain productive partnerships with supply chain partners. Establishing key supply chain Network requirements and protocols ensures performance and minimizes obstacles, threats and pitfalls.
As the healthcare sector continues to change and adapt to new legislation and restrictions, the recognition of opportunities for cost cuts or savings for hospitals is becoming increasingly difficult. However, as mentioned above, considerable synergy may be created when an individual hospital enters a broader healthcare system. And even more synergy is generated when a health-care network partners with major global outsourcers. Both parties benefit from these partnerships by reducing running costs, accessing comprehensive benchmarking data, enhancing quality management, and attracting experts in the subject matter. Ultimately, all of this effort creates strategic alliances which lead to better results.
