Abstract

Hospital supply chain management plays a critical role in ensuring the efficient flow of medical supplies and equipment within healthcare facilities. This review article examines various strategies that can be employed to optimize hospital supply chains and reduce costs. The complexity of hospital supply chains necessitates the implementation of innovative approaches to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. Key strategies discussed in this review include inventory management techniques, demand forecasting methods, vendor management practices, technology integration, collaboration with stakeholders, and lean principles application. By implementing these strategies, hospitals can streamline their supply chain operations, minimize wastage, improve resource utilization, and ultimately reduce costs while maintaining high-quality patient care.
