Enhancing Sustainable Hospital Supply Chain Management through Collaboration and Information Flow in the Post-Pandemic Era

Abstract

The importance of sustainability in Hospital Supply Chain Management (HSCM) has been increasingly recognized, particularly in the post-pandemic era. With growing demands for healthcare services, environmental concerns, and the pressing need for cost-effective solutions, hospitals must reconsider their supply chain strategies to ensure sustainability [1]. One critical aspect of achieving sustainable HSCM is fostering collaboration and information flow among stakeholders. Previously the author discussed about the Hospital Infrastructure Development (HID) which is one of the key elements that can contribute to sustainable HSCM [9]. This article will discuss another key element, the significance of "Collaboration & Information Flow" in ensuring Hospital Supply Chain Management Sustainability.
