Alex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@healthcaretechoutlook.comWhile supply chain costs have consistently ranked near the top, next to labor costs, in hospitals and healthcare systems, it was loosely a focus area until the COVID-19 pandemic. It took a pandemic to expose the fragilities in the healthcare supply chains. Consequently, the setbacks of inefficient supply chain management are reflecting in the acute shortage of medical products and patient services that are, in turn, hampering the heroic efforts of our healthcare professionals on the frontline. The scarcity and increasing cost of medical supplies that are being endured during this crisis are swiftly elevating the significance of the supply chain management (SCM) within a healthcare organization today.The decision-makers in healthcare are increasingly looking to drive operational efficiency and cost reduction in the wake of the pandemic. On that front, healthcare organizations must invest in the innovation in SCM not just to wade through this emergency but also to build a system that will be resilient to crises such as this in the future. In particular, cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial engineering (AI), robotic process automation (RPA), 3D printing, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and the internet of things will play a mounting role in revolutionizing the healthcare supply chain in the coming years.In this edition of Healthcare Tech Outlook, we present to you Surgical Product Solutions, a leading SCM solution provider specialized in providing cost-saving solutions for healthcare facilities across the U.S. This edition further brings you the story of some of the most promising SCM solution providers and consulting/service companies that deliver the best outcomes for their clients.
