Abstract

Utilizing supply chain best practices from industries outside of healthcare, a supply chain  that reduces hospital supply chain costs has been designed and modeled. The supply chain is centered on patient-specific kits delivered from an offsite warehouse to hospital bedsides. Effective implementation requires that each individual hospital segment their products to determine which items are appropriate for the supply chain.
