Answer 1

Distribution management for a home care agency:

A home care agency is an organization which is engaged in providing health care facilities to the patients at home. It is usually done after the patient is discharged from the hospital. It is very important to make the distribution channel of services flexible so that services can be rendered to the far settled patients at ease.

Following is the way to manage the distribution strategy for a home care agency:

• Firstly creating a list of all the available professionals with their respective specializations in the field of science. This will help in analyzing the number of professionals available within the area to be served.
• The agency should come into a valid contract with the doctors who are willing to work with the agency and provide the patients with home care.
• After the list is created, thorough analysis should be done for all the patients residing in and around the reach of the doctors. This will help the agency find out the exact area which can be served and how far the services can be expanded.
• Next, the agency should make sure that the equipments and medicines are made available to the respective doctors before they are further sent for treating the patients.
• Proper and transparent communication channels should be created so that the agency could directly approach the doctors of different localities as and when the need will be felt.
• A common application should be made by the agency so that quick and easy distribution of the doctors, equipments and medicines can be made possible and the status can be checked using the application.
