Hospital Supply Chain

This book provides a comprehensive and essential resource for healthcare professionals, researchers and students interested in the field of hospital logistics. Hospital logistics is a complex process encompassing a wide range of design, planning, and execution activities, providing essential support for the production of healthcare services in all their forms. It is at once strategic, tactical and operational. Its scope ranges from the design and implementation of care units and healthcare facility networks, to the procurement of expensive drugs and medical equipment, the planning of human and material resources (beds, operating theaters, transport, etc.), and the management of stocks of drugs, blood and other health products. The role of hospital logistics is essential in guaranteeing the accessibility, quality and efficiency of care. It helps to optimize care production processes, reduce costs and improve workflow management. It offers an in-depth exploration of the key issues, best practices and technological advances in this critical field.

Covers all aspects of hospital logistics Presents specialized researchers from different geographical regions to offer a broad view Gives resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and students interested in the field of hospital logistics
